.. Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 5 am Tuesday to
6 PM EST Wednesday...
* locations... southeastern North Carolina and northeastern South
Carolina.
* Hazard types... freezing rain and sleet... ending as snow late
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
* Accumulations... the highest freezing rain amounts... around half
an inch... should occur along the coast south of Wilmington
including the Myrtle Beach area. Large accumulations of
sleet... perhaps more than half an inch... may occur as well.
Precipitation will end as snow late Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning... with an additional 1 to 2 inches of accumulation on
top of the ice.
Storm total accumulations of sleet and snow could reach 4 to 6
inches across interior southeastern North Carolina away from the
coast... with 2 to 4 inches elsewhere.
* Timing... a wintry mix will begin as early as daybreak Tuesday.
The heaviest precipitation is expected late Tuesday afternoon
through Tuesday night. Light snow may linger along the coast
into Wednesday afternoon.
* Winds... north 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.
* Temperatures... in the upper 20s... falling to the low 20s
Tuesday night. Wind chills will fall to around 10 degrees
Tuesday night.
* Impacts... very dangerous travel is expected to develop as roads
become snow or ice covered. Bridges will be icy and extremely
hazardous. There may be lengthy power interruptions due to snow
and ice accumulation on power lines... and as winds gust up to 30
mph during the height of the storm. The weight of the ice may
also bring down tree limbs or topple whole trees. Ice storms are
very rare for coastal north or South Carolina... and this appears
to be an historic event unfolding. |
