Ice threat loom for mid-Atlantic and Carolinas, as arctic air could create dangerous travel conditions

Cold arctic air is expected to become wedged and trapped across the southern Appalachians beginning Wednesday night. Meanwhile, a storm that will deliver heavy rain to the Gulf Coast will move eastward. As this precipitation meets up with the cooler air that has settled in, snow and even some freezing rain will become likely Friday into Saturday over parts of the mid-Atlantic and Carolinas.
