Weather forecast confidence is growing that a weekend storm in North Carolina and South Carolina could bring winter weather to parts of the Carolinas Saturday night through Sunday.

The low-pressure system will bring moisture throughout the Carolinas, including snow in the western North Carolina mountains and foothills (including Asheville, Boone, Blowing Rock, Morganton, and Hickory).

Uncertainty remains but temperatures could allow winter precipitation - snow, sleet, freezing rain, or ice - to fall throughout the Piedmont and Interstate 85 corridor. Locations that should be monitoring for potential impacts from a winter storm include but are not limited to: Greenville, Spartanburg, Charlotte, Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, and Durham. As the days draw closer to the weekend, the forecast is expected to develop to better pinpoint which Carolina cities could see snow, ice or, rain.

Impacts from winter weather include freezing temperatures, downed trees, power outages, and hazardous travel conditions.

Confidence is high that the coast of Carolina will likely see all rain. This would include locations such as Hilton Head, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Wilmington.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing winter weather forecast. Jared Smith, from his studio in Charleston, offers this forecast update.
