Greenville, South Carolina – Snow showers and flurries are continuing across the North Carolina mountains Monday, with the highest elevations along the Tennessee border expected to see the greatest accumulation.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, snow will stream southeast across the Carolina mountains through the afternoon. Significant accumulation is mainly confined to counties bordering Tennessee, while locations farther southeast could see around an inch of snowfall, primarily during the morning hours.
The weather service said the highest elevations along the Tennessee border may receive a foot or more of snow before conditions taper off. Most other mountain locations are expected to see lighter totals.
Hazards include slippery travel, especially on untreated roads, as well as areas of blowing snow in exposed higher elevations. Snow showers are expected to continue through the afternoon along the Tennessee border, with lighter activity elsewhere mainly earlier in the day.
Drivers traveling through mountain passes or along higher-elevation roadways should be prepared for changing conditions and reduced traction. The combination of light snowfall and colder temperatures may create slick spots, particularly on bridges and shaded stretches of roadway.
The snowfall could impact students commuting in higher elevations and workers traveling across mountain routes during afternoon hours.
Officials advise motorists to slow down and allow extra travel time in affected counties. Updates are available through the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office.
