CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – After starting out in the teens and 20s, High temperatures today and Sunday will be in the 30s and 40s.
Sunshine will be in abundance Saturday before clouds increase on Sunday.
Sunday afternoon, a few rain/wintry mix showers will be possible along and northwest of I-40 will be possible, not expecting any impacts from this outside of a few slick spots in the higher elevations.
A First Alert is up, and a WINTER STORM WATCH (ice accumulation around .25″ possible) has been issued for our mountain counties from Sunday PM to midday Monday.
Threats will be slick/ice roads and some power outages.

Cold Saturday, rain coming to Piedmont and ice coming to mountains Sunday
As we settle into the weekend, it looks like a chilly and wet one for the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Saturday will bring cold temperatures and rain showers to the area, making for a dreary start to the weekend.
But the weather doesn’t stop there – on Sunday, the mountains are expecting even colder temperatures, with a chance of freezing rain and ice. This could potentially create hazardous driving conditions and bring the risk of power outages to those in higher elevations.
So be sure to bundle up and stay safe this weekend, no matter where you are in the state. And keep an eye on the forecast for any updates or changes to the weather pattern. Stay warm and dry, North Carolina!
