NEWS TIPS AT WXII. 12.COM. AND TURNING NOW TO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST LANIE POPE. LAINEY, I KNOW TONIGHT MAY NOT BE THE BEST NIGHT TO LOOK AT LIGHTS, HUH? NO. PROBABLY A BETTER NIGHT FOR INDOOR ACTIVITIES. LIKE MAYBE SOME DECORATING, MAYBE GETTING CHRISTMAS, MAYBE GETTING THOSE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS SITUATED. YEAH, IT’S SOGGY AND IT’S TURNING MUCH COLDER OUT THERE TOO. KARA SO WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE COLD TEMPERATURES TOMORROW MORNING. WINDY AND COLD. ALSO SOME SNOW THAT WILL LIKELY BE ON THE GROUND. LET’S CHECK IN AT FALLS PARK IN GALAX AND JUST SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW. WE’RE SEEING A TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW IN SOME OF THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. SO WE’LL LIKELY SEE SOME LIGHT AMOUNTS OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY IN SOME OF THE GRASSY SURFACES. WE COULD EVEN HAVE SOME ON THE ROADS IN THE MOUNTAINS, YOU COULD SEE MAINLY WET CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW THERE IN GALAX. NOW, HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FOR THE MOUNTAINS. SOME LIGHT SNOW AMOUNTS UP TO TWO INCHES AND SOME GUSTY WINDS OVERNIGHT. AND BY TOMORROW MORNING, SLIPPERY TRAVEL WILL WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS. AND THROUGH MIDDAY, IT’S SUNNY AND WINDY AND FEELS LIKE TEMPS WILL BE IN THE 20S. NOW FOR THE TRIAD AND FOOTHILLS, IT’S RAIN THAT MAY HAVE AT LEAST A BRIEF WINDOW OF AN HOUR OR TWO WHERE IT’S KIND OF A RAIN SNOW MIX IN SPOTS. SO A DUSTING IS A CHANCE. IT’S AN OUTSIDE CHANCE, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN IN A FEW AREAS OF GRASS, MAYBE SOME METAL SURFACES IF IT COMES DOWN HEAVY ENOUGH TOMORROW MORNING. WE’RE CLOSE TO 32 DEGREES. SO WE’VE GOT WET ROADS. BUT BUT SOME ICY PATCHES ARE POSSIBLE. SO JUST BE CAREFUL, SON. SHINE AND WIND TOMORROW AS WELL. WE’LL KEEP THINGS NICE AND COLD. THERE’S HEAVY RAIN COMING DOWN FORSYTH AS WELL AS STOKES AND SURRY COUNTY. AND THEN THAT TRANSITION TO SNOW TAKING PLACE IN THE MOUNTAINS. WE MAY SEE AS YOU GET UP TOWARD THE VIRGINIA LINE EVEN THAT TRANSITION TO SNOW TAKING PLACE OVER PARTS OF ROCKINGHAM, STOKES AND SURRY COUNTY AS WELL. RIGHT NOW, THE TRANSITION IS OVER. CARROLL GRAYSON BACK THROUGH ALLEGHANY, ASHE AND WATAUGA AND THOSE ARE THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE UNDER THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. LOOK AT THESE RAINFALL TOTALS OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. SOME 1 TO 2 PLUS INCHES, TWO AND A HALF AT GREENSBORO. WE’RE GOING TO ADD POTENTIALLY ANOTHER QUARTER TO ANOTHER HALF OF AN INCH OF RAIN BEFORE THE RAIN SHUTS OFF. SO THERE’S STILL AN OUTSIDE CHANCE WE COULD HAVE ISOLATED FLOODING. THANKFULLY, NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR ARA, BUT OF COURSE, THEY HAD TROUBLE DOWN EAST. AND NOW JUST THE REMAINING THREAT, A TORNADO TOUCHDOWNS, OF COURSE, IN AND AROUND THE RALEIGH AREA. OUR FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH VERY SLOWLY. THAT’S WHY WE’RE GOING TO SEE ADDITIONAL RAIN FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WE’VE GOT THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THAT IS OUT AND THAT WILL STAY UP UNTIL 1:00 TOMORROW. SO THAT IS FOR THE ACCUMULATING SNOW, WHICH WILL BE MAYBE MORE THAN TWO INCHES. IF YOU’RE ABOVE 3500FT, A SLIPPERY MORNING COMMUTE IS EXPECTED. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE, OF COURSE, HAZARDOUS TRAVEL AT LEAST IN THE MORNING. AND THOSE GUSTY WINDS, THE TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY DROPPED SOME 10 TO 20 DEGREES SINCE THIS TIME LAST NIGHT. AND WE’RE SEEING TEMPS RIGHT AROUND FREEZING IN GALAX. SOME 30S AND NORTH WILKESBORO IN MOUNT AIRY AND LOW 40S ACROSS THE TRIAD. BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT’S IN THE 20S AND 30S. AND THAT’S BECAUSE THAT WIND IS PICKING UP OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 10 TO 20 MILES AN HOUR. WE’VE HAD SOME GUSTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 38 MILES AN HOUR IN WINSTON-SALEM AND A 44 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUST. AND ALAMANCE COUNTY THERE IN BURLINGTON. AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE GUSTY WINDS AS THAT STORM MOVES THROUGH. NOTICE THAT WE DO GET A LITTLE PATCH OF MIX HERE SOMETIME BETWEEN 1 A.M. AND 4 A.M. IT’S POSSIBLE ACROSS THE TRIAD COMMUNITIES. BY DAYBREAK, THOUGH, WE’RE LOOKING AT NOTHING FALLING FROM THE SKY AND WE’LL JUST BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT MAYBE THE ROADS OUT THERE. AS FOR A MORE ACCUMULATING SNOW, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE SOME LIGHT AMOUNTS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND POTENTIALLY MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF A DUSTING ACROSS PARTS OF THE TRIAD. CD COLD. TOMORROW MORNING, WE’RE DOWN TO 33 DEGREES IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD. WE’LL BE DOWN TO 32 IN THE FOOTHILLS AGAIN, THAT PRECIPITATION HAS ENDED. MAYBE SOME FLURRIES TOMORROW MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS, WE’RE DOWN INTO THE UPPER 20S. SO AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU’RE REAL CAREFUL AS YOU’RE HEADING OUT ON THE ROADS IN THE MORNING. TOMORROW IS WINDY AND COLD, BUT WITH SUNNY SKIES, A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 46 IN THE TRIAD, 45 IN THE FOOTHILLS. AND OUR MOUNTAIN TEMPERATURES WILL GET JUST ABOVE FREEZING, AT LEAST FOR A FEW HOURS IN THE MID 30S. BUT REMEMBER, WE’VE GOT THAT REALLY STRONG WIND THIS WEEK IS MAINLY DRY AND COOLER THAN NORMAL. STAY WITH US. WE’LL BE RIGH
