...ICE STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM SATURDAY TO 7 AM EST
MONDAY...

* WHAT...Significant icing, with additional impacts from
accumulating sleet expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations up
to two inches and ice accumulations between four tenths and three
quarters of an inch.

* WHERE...Upstate South Carolina and the southern foothills and
Piedmont of North Carolina, including Charlotte.

* WHEN...From 1 PM Saturday to 7 AM EST Monday.

* IMPACTS...Ice and snow covered roadways will become treacherous
and impassable. Widespread power outages are likely due to the
weight of the ice and snow on tree limbs and power lines. The
outages could last for days in some areas. The hazardous
conditions could impact the Monday morning commute.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Ice accumulation will develop Saturday
afternoon and evening but will increase more rapidly on Sunday,
tapering off early Monday morning.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

An Ice Storm Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Significant amounts of ice accumulations will
make travel dangerous or impossible. Travel is strongly discouraged.
Commerce will likely be severely impacted. If you must travel, keep
a flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an
emergency. Ice accumulations and winds will likely lead to snapped
power lines and falling tree branches that add to the danger.
Prepare for possible power outages. The latest road conditions for
the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
