A weather system moving in from the west will bring snow to much of North Carolina and parts of South Carolina. WBTV has been tracking the storm for days, and the timing of it all

Charlotte has a 90% chance of snow, sleet and freezing rain from the approaching system, National Weather Service meteorologists said.

It should start as snow in Charlotte before at some point changing to sleet and freezing rain. There is still some uncertainty when it comes to exactly how much snow we will see here in Charlotte. All snow is expected farther northwest with up to 6 inches possible in the mountains.

A storm bringing snow, ice and freezing rain is set to hit Charlotte on Friday afternoon, but did you know Charlotte once got over 7 feet of snow? We may be feeling frozen when we step outside, but that doesn’t mean the cold never bothered us here in the Queen City.

NOTE: Please see our more recent Friday forecast story. A winter storm is expected to bring snow and ice to much of the central part of the North Carolina beginning Friday afternoon before leaving the state by midday Saturday.

Charlotte is expected to get 1-2 inches of snow this evening, according to WBTV meteorologists. Why it matters: Everyone is either freaking out or scoffing at those who are freaking out. The last measurable snowfall in Charlotte was 0.
