TEAM COVERAGE | Winter storm brings snow, sleet to Charlotte, NC

Описание: North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein declared a statewide state of emergency ahead of a winter storm that's expected to bring the first measurable snowfall to Charlotte in three years, warning residents of freezing temperatures and dangerous travel conditions.

"This storm will likely bring significant impacts from snow, sleet and freezing rain in different parts of the state," Stein said. "North Carolinians should pay close attention to their local weather forecast, make sure they are prepared with what they need at home before Friday afternoon and stay home if possible as ice on the roadways will likely create dangerous driving conditions."

The first signs of winter weather will spread from west to east Friday afternoon and look to continue for 10-12 hours across the greater Charlotte area.

The developing storm system could bring a mix of rain, snow and sleet to the Carolinas Friday afternoon through early Saturday.

"We've been watching this pattern since last week," Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich said in his extended forecast vlog on the WCNC Charlotte Weather IQ YouTube channel. "The timing is coming into a little bit better, clearer picture."

A Winter Storm Warning means heavy snow, sleet or ice are likely to cause significant problems to a specific area. In most cases, travel is delayed and strongly discouraged, especially as road conditions worsen. #Weather #Snow #ncwx #snomg #news #charlotte #cltwx
