Here's how much snow and ice different cities in the Charlotte area will see Friday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Friday is a day to be Weather Aware with snow and ice predicted for much of the Charlotte metro. Thursday afternoon, a Winter Storm Warning was issued for the metro area by the National Weather Service, running from 7 a.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Saturday. The WCNC Charlotte Weather Impact Team continues to monitor the latest forecast models to pin down what our neighbors in the area can expect in the afternoon and overnight into Saturday.

A common question that comes up is what specific cities in the Charlotte area should expect. Chief meteorologist Brad Panovich shared a breakdown on social media outlining a city-by-city forecast for snow, sleet, and ice. Most of the areas that will see higher predicted amounts are mainly in the mountains and to the north of Charlotte. Areas further south heading into South Carolina are likely to see less.
