Carolinas brace for potential winter storm this weekend
Key Points:
- A potential winter storm is expected to impact the Carolinas on Saturday and Sunday, bringing snow, rain, and ice, according to meteorologist Joe Puma.
- Confidence is growing that the storm will be significant, but exact amounts and types of precipitation remain uncertain at this time.
- The storm could cause hazardous road conditions, including slick, icy, and snow-covered roads, with a risk of freezing rain leading to possible power outages.
- Current models predict the main system will arrive Saturday, with the snow and ice line near Interstate 85, intensifying overnight and into Sunday.
- More precise details will emerge later this week as the storm moves onshore and additional weather data is collected to improve forecast accuracy.
