WE'RE THE BENCHWARMERS, NOW...

A little snow humor for y'all...


Looks like Haywood County (yellow dot, below) will be sitting this one out, in terms of any substantial wintry mix or light icing late tonight into Saturday morning.  Even the snow component has disappeared for ACA, or if it makes an appearance, it will be short-lived.  Rain ultimately rules, after some sleet and freezing rain.


Current Map of Weather Issues

We DO have a Wind Advisory that will kick in from 12am through 9am Saturday, for our higher elevations.  But all of the purple Advisories and pink Warnings in the above map are for icing concerns.  This is a classic wintry mix that may start as snow, then mix with sleet, freezing rain, and then rain, with ice accrual being the reason for said categories.  The I-40E and I-26E corridors may be problematic starting after midnight but especially early Saturday morning, so travel with caution those directions.

We have a few little burps of snow flurries or showers over the next week, the first chance being the pre-dawn hours Sunday morning.  But there are no travel concerns at any point in time for now.
