NWS Special Weather Statement (Haywood County)

HIDE
Special Weather Statement issued January 20 at 3:13PM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg

...LIGHT WINTRY MIX POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY MORNING... A chance of precipitation will develop tonight across the North Carolina mountains as moist warm air flows over a cold surface airmass. Temperatures generally are expected to be warm enough that this precipitation will mostly fall as rain. If precipitation develops as expected, a brief period of sleet will be possible, especially at onset. Sleet accumulation most likely will be no more than three tenths of an inch. A few spots such as sheltered valleys may fall below freezing near or just after sunrise, and experience freezing rain causing a light glaze of ice mainly on elevated surfaces. Plan to drive with extra caution early Thursday morning in the mountains.
