Snow showers are developing along the Escarpment and are expected to generally drift east into the Piedmont from late evening through the overnight. Snow showers are possible roughly along a line from Greenville to Spartanburg to York and areas north and east. Most locations should only see a trace on mainly grassy and elevated surface. But localized accumulations of up to an inch are possible in the heavier showers. There is also still melting snow from last weekend's storm across portions of the North Carolina Foothills and Piedmont that may refreeze by daybreak Thursday and produce black ice. Be prepared for slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.

Most areas will see no more than a dusting to a few tenths of an inch, but up to an inch may occur in a few locations. In addition, temperatures will fall into the 20s area wide tonight. Any wet spots on roads from recent rain or melting snow will re- freeze and create black ice. Be prepared for slick spots overnight into Thursday morning, especially on untreated roadways.

Be prepared for slick spots, especially on untreated secondary roadways and overpasses. Use caution if traveling.
