Here is a picture from the scene of that accident Near Center City the drive time is not bad. Only about 31 minutes if someone is heading on providence southbound to 485. Back to you. Thank you. Nice picture from our hd towercam and plenty of sunshine. A little bit of a reprieve because its going to go back down. The rollercoaster is heading down with the temperatures and maybe other things as well. Maybe snow. Lets find out here is Lyndsay Tapases. Cold sometimes the snow goes with it. Tomorrow, yes, snow showers return for the mountains and flakes outside of the mountains as well. Tonight temperatures down into the mid20s. It will not be as cold as last night when we got down to 17 in charlotte. 26 for tonight. And then up to 42 for friday afternoon. Not going to be as warm as today in the mid40s. Again low 40s for most of us outside of the mountains. And and around freezing for places like boone. Satelliteradar is quiet. And you saw on the towercam we are totally clear outside of the mountains. In the mountains you have a little bit of cloud cover but for you the snow showers today we saw a rest from those as well. That will be changing into tomorrow. Here is a disturbance a quickhitting disturbance here pulling out of iowa and getting into northern missouri and that will graze across North Carolina tomorrow. Bring the return of clouds everywhere snow showers to the mountains and a flurry or quickhitting snow shower outside of the mountains. Futurecast not impressed with anything away from the mountains. This is 12 00 noon tomorrow. The snow showers turn back on for you for the rest of us you can see something quickhitting trying to bring a quickhitting shower south of charlotte into the upstate counties into tomorrow afternoon but not a lot of moisture with this at all. So anything we squeeze out east of the mountains is going to be light. And snow totals additional, again on top of what you have seen this is fantastic news for the ski resorts. You could see 24 inches and this is just with this coming through tomorrow. Not even including what you will see in the mountains on monday. Lets talk about monday here. Again, anything in blue here in the blue. So when we start monday morning yes, it will be very, very cold with below freezing air in charlotte. But its looking more and more likely now that as the storm system takes more of a westward track that is going to bring more warm south air in we will have a quick changeover from snow or ice to rain and this will be ending as a rain event for us monday night and into Tuesday Morning outside of the mountains. That is why at this point we are going with an 80 probability that at best we will be able to squeeze out in charlotte will amount to no more than an inch for the storm on president s day on monday. Its good to he is a trend towards more rain. Good news for everyone especially as far as driving conditions on monday night.

Here is how cold it will get where you live tonight. Dangerously cold and we have two separate chances of wintery weather coming this way. That is why we have Team Coverage from charlotte to boone we have you covered. Lets start with chief meterologist, eric thomas. And eric, we may see snow actually in the morning . Well, perhaps, maureen or closer to midday. But, yes, and you know you are getting used to the cold weather when you look at the map and temperatures are in the 40s and it feels mild. 27 is the number in the boone area. And the snow is racing our way. Right now located over the corn belt around iowa and it is a little over 600 miles from charlotte. Its moving quickly and it will get here tomorrow. But this looks like the lighter of the two snow events trying to make their way in. 47 is the number heading outside right now. Your hourbyhour forecast drop with the clear skies. 35 by 9 00 p. M. And 32 at 11 00 p. M. That round one. And the bigger storm that will be round 2 and how does it play out . Uncertainty. Meteorologist Lyndsay Tapases with more on that. Changes since this time yesterday. So we want to get you caught up on those. Im showing you the temperature profile. You are thinking that how could this be other than snow when its been so cold . But here is the setup for first thing monday morning. Yes it will be cold which is why this does looks like it will begin in charlotte as a brief period of snow or ice. But since this storm right now is looking like it will take a westward track we will see more warm air from the south. So anything in the blue this is indicating air that is below freezing and any watch how the blue air is replaced by the warmer tones indicating the that low tracking just off to the west. So that is why right now its looking like, yes, we will see a brief period of snow and ice in charlotte but its looking more likely compared to yesterday that we will have a quicker changeover to rain as early as monday evening with this ending as a rain event for monday night into tuesday which is good for travel conditions and eric will have much more in the complete forecast in a couple of minutes.
