Bone-chilling rain is falling across much of the Charlotte region Friday morning, and some of the precipitation fell earlier in the day as snow, sleet and freezing rain to the north.

The wintry precipitation caused officials in a number of school systems, including several in the Charlotte area, to open late Friday. A few systems in the mountains are closed for the day.

Forecasters say there won’t be any frozen precipitation in Charlotte, and the National Weather Service has ended an earlier winter weather advisory for most foothills and mountain counties. An advisory for light sleet and freezing rain continues only in Ashe, Alleghany, Watauga and Wilkes counties.

But it’s not a pleasant day across the region.

At mid-morning, temperatures ranged from near freezing in the northern part of the region to the upper 30s in Charlotte and the nearby South Carolina counties. It also was in the upper 30s in Union, Anson and Richmond counties of North Carolina.

Snow, sleet and freezing rain fell at times overnight in the mountains and across northern North Carolina, in a corridor from Wilkes County across Forsyth and Guilford counties and even into Wake County near Raleigh.

Authorities say roads are generally in good shape.

Most of the precipitation north of Lake Norman has ended for now. A bit of light rain is possible over the next few hours, but National Weather Service meteorologist Rodney Hinson said, “Any additional glaze should be limited to elevated surfaces” in the higher mountain areas.

A few more showers are moving toward the Charlotte area, but forecasters say there likely will be a break in the significant rainfall for several hours in the afternoon. Temperatures won’t budge, however, remaining in the mid and upper 30s.

Another area of rain is predicted to arrive by late afternoon or evening, then continue into Saturday morning.

This time, said National Weather Service meteorologist Pat Moore, “It will be all liquid.”

The rain is expected to end by midday Saturday, with temperatures rebounding to the lower 50s. A much more significant improvement is forecast Sunday, with partly sunny skies and highs in the low 60s.

Then another rain system will arrive Monday, bringing a return of cooler temperatures.
