Winter storm coming to the Carolinas: #WakeUpCLT To Go 1-14-22

The biggest winter storm since December of 2018 will bring a wintry mix of freezing rain, ice, sleet and snow to the Charlotte region this weekend with frigid temperatures expected through Monday. "The models are in agreeance," First Warn forecaster Larry Sprinkle said. "It's definitely going to happen." Charlotte and surrounding counties are under a Winter Storm Watch for Sunday. Snow, sleet, and ice accumulations are likely to have significant impacts on the areas. Communities impacted include the mountains, foothills, and piedmont along with the City of Charlotte. Sprinkle said this major winter storm system will eventually move to the Mid-Atlantic states after blanketing the Carolinas late Saturday and all day Sunday. "We're talking about an icy mix for the Charlotte area," Sprinkle said. "That's a little bit of everything. Sleet, freezing rain, snow and even a rain-snow mix." #WakeUpCLT #Snow #NCwx Keep reading: https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/...
