This weekend could see some snow flakes flying across our area, according to the Steve Pfaff with the National Weather Service Office in Wilmington. Forecast models show Bladen County with a potential to receive between 1 to 2 inches of snow by Saturday evening.

The snow is forecast to begin overnight Friday and continue into Saturday morning. According to Pfaff, arctic air will be spreading into the Carolinas Sunday into Monday morning. Snow will be possible in a line north of Florence, SC to Elizabethtown. Snowfall amounts will be dependent on the track of the low pressure system.

Impacts will include hazardous travel conditions associated with any snowfall, especially on bridges, overpasses and other elevated road surfaces. Secondary roads could be impacted as well, especially across farther inland areas.

Black ice on area roadways is possible Saturday night into Sunday morning as arctic air spreads into the region creating very cold weather helping to freeze any water on the roadways.

The combination of wind and cold temperatures will create hazardous wind chill values of 5-10 F late Saturday night into Sunday.

Low temperatures Sunday morning will be around 20F, while lows Monday morning are expected to be in the teens.
