Will we have snow this weekend? | Photo via Santiago O.
A winter storm watch is in effect for Central NC from late Friday, Jan. 23, through the afternoon on Sunday, Jan. 25. If this changes or is upgraded, the National Weather Service will update the forecast and share alerts on its website.
NWS officials are warning of “significant impacts,” including “dangerous travel, potential power outages, and possible downed trees and branches.”
Here are a few resources to keep in mind as the forecast develops:
Know what to do before, during, and after winter storm watches and warnings, including how to build a supply kit and what to do if the power goes out.
Keep up with citywide updates via the Office of Emergency Management.
Make note of snow removal routes and which roads city crews are not responsible for.
