ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS WEATHER NOW. I’M GETTING SICK OF USING THIS GRAPHIC BEHIND US. REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT A THOUSAND DAYS WITHOUT ANY SNOW OR MEASURABLE SNOW? I REMEMBER WELL, REMEMBER TOO. I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME IT SNOWED. PRIOR TO ALL THAT WE’VE GOTTEN SO FAR IN JANUARY. I DON’T THINK I’M ALLOWED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COLD WEATHER ANYMORE. WELL, I DON’T KNOW. A LOT OF FOLKS ARE DEFINITELY TALKING ABOUT THE COLD WEATHER AND ALSO ABOUT THE SNOW THAT IS FLYING AROUND IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD. A VERY FINE POWDERY SNOW, BUT IT IS PILING UP. WE ARE STARTING TO GET SOME PARKING LOTS COVERED. THERE’S THE VIEW OVER GRAHAM. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT LOOKS LIKE SNOW ALL DAY LONG. LET’S TALK ABOUT. THIS IS A BIG WINTER STORM ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. WE KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. PLACES THAT USUALLY DON’T SEE SNOW ARE BEING INUNDATED WITH SOME REAL HIGH SNOWFALL TOTALS. WE’RE ALSO WATCHING IN THE TRIAD FOR THE POTENTIAL OF THAT LIGHT COATING THAT COULD IMPACT OUR AND THEN THE COLDER TEMPERATURES THAT WE’VE GOT, WE’VE GOT COLD ALERTS THAT ARE OUT FOR OUR AREA. MOST OF THE SNOW WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM IS ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA, WHICH IS A SENTENCE THAT I DON’T OFTEN SAY HERE. YEAH, THIS IS PRETTY RARE SETUP ACROSS THE AREA. AND YEAH, THE IMPACTS ARE GOING TO BE HIGHEST ALONG THE COAST AS WELL. WE DO EXPECT AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF AN IMPACT IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD. WE’RE SEEING IT OUT THERE RIGHT NOW WITH SOME OF THAT POWDERY SNOW MAKING IT DOWN TO THE GROUND THROUGH SOME VERY DRY AIR. WE’RE NOT UNDER AN ADVISORY PER SE, BECAUSE THE AMOUNTS ARE GOING TO BE VERY LIGHT ACROSS OUR AREA, BUT THERE’S A WINTER STORM WARNING OUT TO THE EAST, AND THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WAS ACTUALLY PUSHED A LITTLE FARTHER WEST AS WE SAW A LITTLE BIT OF A SHIFT IN THE TRACK OVERNIGHT EARLY THIS MORNING. AND IT DOES INCLUDE SOME OF THE COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA, INCLUDING OUR COUNTY HERE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, WHERE TROY IS. THAT’S WHERE WE EXPECT TO SEE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF SNOWS IN OUR TELEVISION AUDIENCE. SO AROUND AN INCH OR SO POSSIBLE IN THOSE COMMUNITIES, LIGHTER AMOUNTS, THOUGH MAYBE A HALF OF AN INCH, QUARTER OF AN INCH STILL POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF THE TRIAD. NOW THAT WE’RE SEEING THAT SNOW ACTUALLY BREAK THROUGH THE DRY AIR, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE NOT SURE WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ACROSS OUR AREA. IT WILL BE STREAKY, IT WILL BE SPOTTY, IT WILL BE SHORT LIVED. NOW, BETWEEN NOW, I SHOULD SAY AT ABOUT 10:00. THAT’S THE WINDOW FOR SOME SNOW. BUT THAT DRY SNOW WILL STICK AND THAT COULD CREATE THOSE TRAVEL HAZARDS OUT THERE. THAT’S WHY WE DO HAVE THAT I-85 CORRIDOR IN THAT IMPACT ZONE. AGAIN, THERE’S SOME VERY LIGHT, FLUFFY SNOW COMING DOWN RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE TRIAD. IT’S A LITTLE MORE SIGNIFICANT FARTHER TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE EAST. EVERYBODY IS COLD WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS AND 20S. WE WERE 15 THIS MORNING IN GREENSBORO AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOW 20S. WE’RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COLD OVERNIGHT WITH THAT EXTREME COLD WARNING FOR THE MOUNTAINS, FOR WIND CHILL VALUES AS LOW AS 15 BELOW. IN OUR COLD WEATHER ADVISORY ZONE, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT WIND CHILL VALUES THAT COULD GET DOWN BELOW ZERO IN THE FOOTHILLS AND CLOSE TO ZERO IN THE TRIAD. SO YOU LOOK AT FORECAST WIND CHILLS AS WE GO THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. THIS IS TOMORROW MORNING. WHAT IT WILL FEEL LIKE IF YOU DO STEP OUTDOORS. OF COURSE, THAT COLD IS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND THEY ARE SEEING THE SNOW PILING UP AND MORE THAN A FOOT NOW IN NEW ORLEANS. AND THAT’S GOING TO TRACK RIGHT ALONG OUR COASTLINE, WHERE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ARE IN THE FORECAST FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS THAT I-95 CORRIDOR. SO YOU WATCH THE SNOW HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. AGAIN, MOST OF IT IS JUST TO OUR EAST. AND YES, MOST SIGNIFICANTLY, GOING TO IMPACT OUR BEACHES AS WELL AS PLACES LIKE FAYETTEVILLE AND RALEIGH. AS FOR SNOWFALL PILING UP, MOST SIGNIFICANT AGAIN TO THE SOUTHEAST COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT HERE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT TRIAD. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. 12 WITH FEELS-LIKE TEMPERATURE CLOSE TO ONE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. 29 WE’VE GOT LIGHT NORTHEAST BREEZES. WE’VE GOT SUNSHINE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE FOOTHILLS. MORNING TEMPERATURE IS NINE. FEELS LIKE ZERO. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 20S. WINDS ARE A LITTLE LIGHTER, SO NOT AS MUCH OF A WIND CHILL ISSUE IN THE AFTERNOON. LOTS OF SUN IN THE MOUNTAINS, FIVE IN THE MORNING AND BELOW ZERO FOR FEELS LIKE A HIGH OF 22. TOMORROW AFTERNOON FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS. HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. WE’RE GOING TO WARM UP. WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT THIS ONE OUT FOLKS. WE’RE IN THE TEENS AGAIN THURSDAY MORNING, BUT GET ABOVE FREEZING B
