Duke Energy - Severe Storm Update - 1/19/2022
January 19, 2022Good morning! Here we go again……………
Below is weather information from our team of meteorologists. Please remember the National Weather Service is your official provider of weather information.
A front will approach from the west tonight and slowly track across the Carolinas through the day Thursday becoming stationary by Friday morning just offshore. Light rain Thursday across all areas then turning much colder Thursday night into Friday as Arctic air arrives. Clouds will persist across the east Friday with variably cloudy skies west. Areas of light snow will develop during the day across the central counties east of the mountains with a wintery mix across the eastern counties along and east of I95. Low pressure is forecast to develop along the Carolina Capes Friday evening spreading a wintery mix westward. Models are in agreement that light snow will fall across the central counties of the Carolinas with light accumulations. Across the Coastal Zone and portions of the Pee Dee, a mix of sleet and freezing rain will develop Friday evening into Saturday morning with ice amounts in some areas in the 0.15 to 0.35” range which may result in power outages.
As always, we are actively preparing for whatever the weather may bring.
Here are a few reminders:
