Story summary
  • Charlotte is expected to receive 3-6 inches of fluffy snow from Saturday morning to evening, with rapid accumulation and blowing snow.
  • Hazardous travel conditions are anticipated because the cold weather will cause snow to stick to road surfaces immediately.
  • Gusty winds of 25-30 mph will create blowing snow and reduce visibility.
  • Any melting on Sunday will quickly refreeze overnight, resulting in widespread black ice on local roads.
