Special Weather Statement
Snow showers are developing along the Escarpment and are expected to generally drift east into the Piedmont from late evening through the overnight. Snow showers are possible roughly along a line from Greenville to Spartanburg to York and areas north and east. Most locations should only see a trace on mainly grassy and elevated surface. But localized accumulations of up to an inch are possible in the heavier showers. There is also still melting snow from last weekend's storm across portions of the North Carolina Foothills and Piedmont that may refreeze by daybreak Thursday and produce black ice. Be prepared for slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.
Special Weather Statement
Light snow will bring minor snow accumulations across portions of the Northern Valley, Southwest Virginia, and the East Tennessee Mountains before tapering off after midnight. Most areas will see no more than a dusting to a few tenths of an inch, but up to an inch may occur in a few locations. In addition, temperatures will fall into the 20s area wide tonight. Any wet spots on roads from recent rain or melting snow will re- freeze and create black ice. Be prepared for slick spots overnight into Thursday morning, especially on untreated roadways. Use caution if traveling.

Temperatures will fall into the 20s tonight. Any wet spots on roads from recent rain or melting snow will re-freeze and create black ice. Be prepared for slick spots overnight into Thursday morning, especially on untreated roadways. Use caution if traveling.
Special Weather Statement
Temperatures have fallen below freezing again across the area, causing lingering runoff from melted snow and ice to refreeze on roads. Areas of black ice can be expected once again this morning. Temperatures should warm above freezing later this morning, with highs in the 40s to low 50s this afternoon. Be prepared for slick spots this morning, especially on bridges and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.
Special Weather Statement
Any snow that melts today today will refreeze after sunset as temperatures will remain below freezing through Monday morning across much of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. Thus, widespread black ice can be expected this evening through Monday morning. If traveling, be prepared for hazardous road conditions, especially on bridges and overpasses as well as on untreated roadways. Use extra caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots. Although temperatures will rise above freezing across most locations by Monday afternoon, patchy black ice may linger across the higher elevations of the North Carolina mountains as well as in shaded areas throughout Monday.
