No real change with the updated track of Ian at 11 am Monday. On this track, landfall is possible from Tampa and points north. This is looking like a rain event for the NC Piedmont. A few inches possible, with 35 mph to 40 mph wind gusts?

Forecast models have warmed a bit. This would suggest less snow and more ice. Significant ice accumulations of 0.25" to 0.50" are possible from the Triad southward leading possible widespread power outages.

I'm not impressed with the prospects of winter weather. We will watch our Virginia border counties for a burst of snow. Latest models suggest a delay in the onset of precipitation. More rain? Ground warm, and limited cold air at the surface. Milk and bread not needed.

Look for mainly snow Friday through early Saturday morning. We are still working to figure out amounts. The track of the low is the key...farther way, less accumulation, closer would mean more. You should be prepared for maybe a couple of inches of snow and icy roads.
