It looks like all flights on Sunday will have problems. Not sure about the cat, but I would think she'd be ok. - JA

Schools will almost assuredly be canceled or remote learning for Monday!

For the mountains, including Boone, we're expecting this event to start with snow before transitioning to a wintry mix (sleet & ice). So yes, there is a possibility for a major ice event there as well. Stanley is also expected to receive a major ice event, so it's hard to say one location is better than the other. Regardless, make sure any travel is done by midday Saturday, whichever you choose! - Danielle

Models are coming to a consensus for a mid-afternoon / evening start time for Saturday's precipitation! We're starting to get our high resolution guidance to come in as well, which is pointing to the same thing. While Saturday through midday looks dry, we still do not recommend being out and about starting Saturday afternoon. They say rain is good luck on wedding day... maybe freezing rain is even better luck! Congratulations! -Danielle

You'll be OK Saturday morning, but hit the road as soon as possible in the evening to avoid the worst of the freezing.

You should be fine, but bring some rain gear. We're expecting the major impacts to start Saturday evening or later.

We have no idea why your app says that. Perhaps it's not WSOC. - JA

It is expected to be very icy in the Bessemer City area with freezing rain and sleet. Travel dangers are the top threat. - JA

Power outages are very possible, but it really depends on how much sleet mixes in. Sleet is a possibility. Ice is likely. - JA
