Track weather: Winter storm brings more snow to Mid-Atlantic before tapering off
As Southern California continues to grapple with devastating wildfires, remnants of a massive winter storm will coat regions across the Mid-Atlantic with more snow before exiting Saturday morning.
The storm, which threatened millions in the South with snow and ice, will sweep east off the Mid-Atlantic Coast, leaving snowflakes in its wake, according to the National Weather Service.
Southern Virginia and the central and southern Appalachians are expected to be hit the hardest with snow, the service reported. Southern Virginia will log anywhere between 3 to 6 inches of snow, while the Ohio Valley and parts of the Northeast are expected see a significantly smaller amount.
Rain and ice are poised to be a concern across portions of South Carolina and North Carolina, specifically within the Charlotte and Raleigh city limits, where dangerous travel conditions and power outages are expected.
By Saturday afternoon, the icy and wet conditions are expected to completely dissipate but freezing cold temperatures will remain through the weekend.
Forecast: Raleigh, North Carolina
Since the storm has started, light to moderate snow will continue to spread in central North Carolina, the NWS in Raleigh said. There is enough snow and ice to make travel conditions dangerous through Saturday morning. Power outages are also possible.
