GENERAL OUTLOOK
A band of precipitation associated with the strong arctic front will sweep through the area early this morning with rain changing over to a brief period of snow across the mountains and foothills along/north of I-40. Cold arctic air will quickly spill into the area throughout the morning hours behind the front. Winds will become gusty starting early this morning and will lead to dangerously cold wind chills across the North Carolina mountains, portions of northeast Georgia, and portions of the North Carolina Foothills today. Northwest flow snow chances may continue along the Tennessee border through late tonight. The dangerously cold wind chills will continue across the mountains and will expand into the rest of the forecast area this evening into early Saturday. The cold and dry airmass lingers through the long holiday weekend, but temperatures will be on a gradual warming trend during this time.

Hazards and Tropical Weather
Hazardous weather is not expected today, but over the next few days we will see increased chances of winter weather and experience dangerous wind chills and high winds that may lead to power outages.
Precipitation will change again over to snow tonight and linger into Friday across the mountains. Only light snow accumulations are expected, but roads may still be wet as temperatures quickly fall below freezing, resulting in areas of black ice by Friday afternoon. Arctic air will spread over the region Friday, producing strong, gusty winds and dangerous wind chill values that will continue through the weekend. Gusts of 35 to 55 mph may cause travel difficulties, downed trees, and power outages. Water in poorly insulated or open pipes could freeze due to the prolonged duration of the cold temperatures.
Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
408 AM EST Fri Dec 23 2022
...COLD WAVE INVADING THE REGION...
A very cold arctic airmass is poised to move across the region today behind a passing, strong cold front. Saturday will be the coldest day of the outbreak, with well below normal cold air remaining in place through at least Monday. Very windy conditions will also develop and persist from this morning into tonight. An unusually high risk from wind chill impacts can be expected across the region, including frost bite and hypothermia, especially tonight as temperatures plummet.
The cold weather will result in high demand for electricity across the region. Power outages may result from the heavy electrical load and also from the gusty winds. Those who require electricity for medical needs should consider backup heat or electrical sources.
Take steps now to protect your property and health from the extreme cold. If you go outside, wear several layers of loose fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. Mittens are warmer than gloves. Wear a hat and cover your mouth with a scarf. If driving, keep your gas tank near full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines. Check your antifreeze and windshield washer fluid levels. Be sure to carry a fully charged cell phone.
If you are home, consider allowing indoor plumbing fixtures to drip to allow water to trickle through pipes and inhibit freezing. Use caution with space heaters in order to avoid fire or injury. If emergency generators will be used, they must be situated outdoors in well-ventilated areas to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Also, remember to check in on family, friends, and elderly neighbors who might be susceptible to the cold. Do not forget about your pets and livestock. Make sure they have a source of water that will not freeze and a warm place to take shelter from the wind and cold.
Do not attempt to walk on frozen ponds, lakes, or streams, as the ice will not be thick enough to support the weight, even of a child.
A cold wave is defined as average daily temperatures 12 degrees or more below normal mid-January average daily temperatures for 48 hours or longer. Normal mid-January average daily temperatures are, for Asheville 37, Charlotte 41, and GSP 42. By definition it follows that a cold wave is when the average daily temperature for Asheville is 25, Charlotte is 29, and GSP is 30 or less.
