Today is a Weather Alert Day for the mountains due to the Winter Storm Warning for Ashe, Avery, and Watauga.
We’re expecting on-and-off snow showers throughout much of the morning with the potential for some mixing by late morning into early afternoon.
Scattered showers will continue throughout much of the day, eventually tapering off by Tuesday morning.
Average accumulation is between 1 to 3 inches, but some isolated areas could receive between 4 to 6 inches.
The biggest concerns for the mountains will be poor visibility and slick road conditions.
