"Wintry Blast Anticipated: Snow and Ice to Sweep Across North Carolina This Weekend"

A storm system is expected to bring a wintry mix to parts of North Carolina and South Carolina late Friday into Saturday. While most of the Upstate will experience cold rain, areas in the mountains and north of the Upstate may see a mix of rain, freezing rain, and light snow, especially north and west of Asheville. The forecast is complex due to varying surface temperatures and could change with slight temperature shifts.
