How the weather develops here in the Piedmont-Triassic. I know we’re in for some cold weather overnight. ONCE AGAIN ON JANUARY TO JANUARY. LANEY. Yes, and it’s pretty extreme in the whole area. NO RECORD, BUT WE WERE ON THE COLD TRACK. Take a look. STILL SNOW ON THE GRASS IN ENNICE. NOW we’re starting to see more grass as you come down from the mountains and we’re melting. A good bit of snow. We still have dry skies. AND YES, WE HAVE DRY AIR. EVEN A FIRE HAZARD IN OUR AREA. This results in a high fire risk for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. IN OUR AREA WE HAVE UNUSUALLY DRY CONDITIONS. We also have some strong winds in the forecast. WITH THIS FRONT, ESPECIALLY IN OUR MOUNTAIN TOWNS, AND THAT WILL APPLY FOR WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR FROM THE NORTHWEST. The wind will also make it feel really cold. RIGHT NOW WE’RE SEEING SOME GUSTS OVER 20 MILES PER HOUR ALONG THE MOUNTAINS. AND WE WILL CONSIDER THIS WIND ALONG WITH THE COLD AIR. AND WE HAVE A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY ALSO IN PLACE FOR OUR MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES. SO ALLEGHANY, GRAYSON AND CARROLL COUNTIES AS WELL AS GALAX COULD HAVE TEMPERATURES THAT ARE 5 TO 10 BELOW ZERO. Of course, this extreme cold increases the risk of hypothermia and frostbite. Keep that in mind. The forecast wind chill will drop below zero in the mountains tomorrow morning. By tomorrow morning they will be in the single digits and into the teens across the Piedmont Triad. At the moment it feels like temperatures in the mountains are between 20 and 30°C. Coming down from these ridges, temperatures are currently 29°C in Sparta, 41°C in Pilot Mountain and 33°C in north Wilkesboro. And temperatures are also falling rapidly across the entire triad. WE ARE NOW SITTING AT 38, IN REIDSVILLE, 41 IN STUART, 40 IN ASHEBORO AND WINSTON-SALEM IS AT 45. WE STILL HAVE NO HEAVEN. We have a northern and western front bringing a small chance of snow showers or thunderstorms in the mountains. For everyone else, it’s just windy and cold, and you can see that temperatures are below freezing in places like Louisville and Saint Louis. So tomorrow morning we’ll only be in the mountains at 1 p.m. FEELING MUCH COLDER THAN THE AVERAGE LOW OF ABOUT 2021 IN THE TRIAD AND EXTENSIVE MOUNTAINS. Remember, we have sketchy, slippery spots out there, especially in parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and shady streets. Temperatures will only rise above freezing tomorrow around midday and reach values ​​over 30 degrees tomorrow afternoon. With this northwesterly wind, it will feel like the temperature is around 20°C for most of the day. ALSO, patchy ice. IN THE EXTENSIVE MOUNTAINS TEMPERATURES UP TO ABOUT 37 MORNING AFTERNOON. ALSO VERY COLD DAY. LOTS OF WIND IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 20S. Looking ahead now, we will moderate a little on Thursday, mid 40s, almost 50 on Friday. There will be wet weather here on Saturday and Sunday, including in the foothills. MAY BE WET IN THE MOUNTAINS. It could be a little more wintry in this Saturday to Sunday window. We will be keeping a close eye on this storm system as it moves toward us. This is Saturday morning. By Saturday afternoon it will be wet for almost everyone. We’ll see another small streak of moisture here on Sunday. We’ll be watching closely to see if any of this snow creeps east into the Triad and Central North Carolina on Sunday. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE RAIN, AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER arctic blast heading E
