darker the blue, the heavier the snow fall, i want to point out we have a warm front to the south. this will create issues depending on how quickly it moves across the area, as it move across anything that falls is likely to transition from snow to freezing rain. that is where the concerns are where ice builds up on the road, look at west of us, we saw rain, we have sleet, freezing rain and snow, waiting to move in, overnight into through the day tomorrow. just want to take a quick look. at on the future cast, 7 27 in the morning, i am not expecting a ton of snow fall, at-this-point light snow potential, possibly sleet, freezing rain, biggest concern is early morning hours, whatever ice. you could see icing issues in early morning, then clears out to the noon, and a break before a transdoing rain later transition into rain all right. thank you. we will always keep you plugged into weather conditions just head to fox46charlotte.com find the weather tab or download our we
precaution. yeah it is a good thing. i m tracking the quiet conditions for the most part. had light drizzle here an hour ago. as we aren t seeing much of a wintery concern here this morning for the morning drive as originally thought. as you mentioned. d.o.t. trucks were out in full force making sure anything that did fall this morning wouldn t lead to treacherous driving conditions. we caught up with a few of the tricks late last night setting down the brine, the salt. making sure the roads were treated enough. we ve been talking with mark taylor. a couple of accidents out here early this morning and out here live, right above 277, the brookshire, travel looks decent. we re tracking everyone going out or just below the speed limit. we had light drizzle out here early this morning. we ll keep an eye on the conditions out here this morning. keith mentioned the chance for freezing rain as we head throughout the lunch time and afternoon continues. although the travel condition
roads are treacherous right now. some drivers losing control of their cars while going just 15 to 20 miles per hour. the d.o.t. here at catawba county is putting sand and salt down along with some brine on some of the over passes and some of the problem areas where they ve had accidents. we talked with one driver who wrecked this morning about these conditions. this guy we saw a bunch of guys fish tailing. it s ridiculous. people need to slow down. take it slow. if you don t have to go out today, don t go out. it s not worth it. reporter: i think the hardest thing is for folks, when they step outside, they look and they see grass, they see wet roads, the roads have a lot of black ice. the key into the afternoon is the temperature. right now we re holding in the mid 20s. hopefully it ll rise later this evening and get above the freezing mark. reporting live from hickory, dave faherty, channel 9 eyewitness news. all right dave. thank you. we re keeping a close eye on th
