Chilly Days Ahead: What's in Store for Western North Carolina?

Western North Carolina is still reeling from a significant winter storm, with the National Weather Service warning of continued frigid conditions. Wind chills could plummet to -19 degrees, posing serious risks of frostbite and frozen pipes.

Road Hazards Persist

Icy roads remain a major concern, making driving dangerous. The weather service predicts these hazardous conditions will linger into next week, compounded by an incoming cold front that will bring more freezing temperatures and road hazards.

More Snow Expected

Light snow showers are forecasted, with higher elevations potentially receiving up to an inch of snow, while lower areas may see half an inch. Though not heavy, this snow could still cause travel disruptions.

Extreme Cold to Dominate the Week

Monday is expected to be the coldest day, with temperatures staying low and wind chills making it feel even harsher. Residents are advised to:

• Dress warmly
• Let taps drip slowly to prevent pipes from freezing

While the rest of the week may bring sunny skies, temperatures will remain low, especially at night. Bundle up and exercise caution on icy roads to avoid accidents.
