Black ice expected Tuesday morning

Black ice expected Tuesday morning

Areas of black ice across the region will remain through this morning. With temperatures starting the day in the upper teens to low 20s and expected to warm slowly after sunrise, these areas of black ice can be expected until noon today.

High pressure will pass across the central Appalachians today, bringing dry weather in the wake of Monday’s snowfall. A cold front will pass across the region Wednesday night into Thursday, triggering another round of snow showers that will mainly impact the mountains, particularly the higher ridges from southeast West Virginia through the High Country of North Carolina. Another disturbance has the potential to bring a mixture of mountain rain and snow on Friday, followed by a strong cold front during the coming weekend.
