#ConcordNC! ⚠️ Our Streets/Transportation Team is out working hard on the roads, but please don't venture out if it's not necessary! Accidents in our area are ticking up, so please play it safe out there and enjoy the snow at home if possible! ❄️

#ConcordNC! Another round of winter weather is heading our way. 🥶Stay ready and be prepared! Be sure to follow trusted sources like our friends at @nwsgsp for forecast updates! ❄️

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for our entire area from 4 pm Fri through Sat night. Significant snowfall accumulations and difficult driving conditions are expected. In the interim, our "Cold Wave" persists: well below normal temps continue leading up to the storm.

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

Confidence is increasing that snow will develop across the region beginning Friday evening, continuing into Saturday. Significant accumulations of snow are possible across much of the area, with impacts to travel being the primary concern.

[Concord Emergency Management @ConcordNCEM]

#ConcordNC! The roads are slick out there! Please avoid travel today if possible. More ice accumulation to come throughout the day today. Stay safe out there!

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

Here is the latest expected additional ice and sleet accumulations today. Sleet should change over to mostly freezing rain by late morning, with a round of heavier freezing rain possible this afternoon.

[City of Concord @ConcordNCgov]

In conjunction with Cabarrus County Government, the City of Concord has declared a State of Emergency. This will allow us to adjust staffing and services, deploy additional emergency resources, and take other necessary actions to protect our residents.

[Concord Emergency Management @ConcordNCEM]

📢#ConcordNC! Now is the time to make final preparations for this weekend's forecasted winter weather. Continue to monitor trusted resources, such as @NWSGSP. Power outages and hazardous travel conditions are expected. Visit https://t.co/RgKZwRsZvf for preparedness tips!

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

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

[Concord Emergency Management @ConcordNCEM]

#ConcordNC! Stay ready and be prepared for whatever comes our way this weekend. Visit https://t.co/RgKZwRsZvf for helpful preparedness tips!

[Keith Monday @kmondayWSOC9]

As freezing rain is becoming likely with this storm, travel is going to be quite hazardous. We could also see more widespread power outages if we get over 1/4" of ice to accumulate on trees and power lines.

Makes preps for the possibility of being without power.

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

Winter Storm Watch is in effect from 7 AM Saturday through 1 PM Monday.

Hazardous travel and widespread power outages are possible with this storm. Power outages could last for multiple days.

Now is the time to prepare! #ncwx #scwx #gawx

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

Make sure to have emergency supplies in your vehicle BEFORE a winter storm arrives, and that your mobile phone is fully charged -- it could become your lifeline if disaster should strike.
