Haywood County was an afternoon add-on to the Winter Weather Advisory posted earlier, which is in effect for the southern NC mountains, effective from midnight tonight through noon Tuesday. We are on the northern fringe of the wintry precipitation shield, and I guess they added us in for good measure.
After midnight, some light snow will develop, with morning lows around the mid 20s. The problem lies in the warmer air aloft that slides in before sunrise, mixing in sleet and freezing rain. Although it should be all rain by around 10am, it could be a slippery mess before then here on Apple Creek Road.
Snow isn't the issue...models have us 1" tops, but I imagine the other precip forms knock any accumulation back down. The big concern will be ice, the Great Equalizer, so use extreme caution driving Apple Creek Road during the advisory period .
