TUESDAY 640am UPDATE

At the top of ACA it's 32 at ground level, and 33 or so on elevated decks, with some icing beginning to take place.  While there will be a transition to all rain later this morning, we're clearly riding a tight rail in which travel troubles could escalate...again, nothing to do but wait it out in the temperature department.

The wind fields are not impressive this morning, for our area anyway...I don't see high wind issues today, though it could get windy tomorrow morning as another cold front slams through.

I'm in Charlotte and heading in to my station in momentarily and will update through the morning as I get info.

Per wintry weather for the rest of the week, it's unsettled to say the least, and while the amount of precipitation won't be huge, models still painting 1-3" widespread for ACA over the course of 4 days, with heavier amounts along the TN border...that area will catch the brunt, and ACA will pick up any dregs that make it over those high mountains in an upslope NW flow situation.  Our first good chance at some accumulating snow will develop overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning...will update later on that.

As I started saying on-air yesterday, it doesn't matter whether March comes in like a lion or a sheep...both animals will come in wearing polarfleece...
