CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Ninty flights have been canceled and more than 160 flights have been delayed Monday as winter weather moves across North Carolina.
According to FlightAware, there have been 90 cancellations at Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Monday, Jan. 6, with 169 flight delays.
A large portion of delays have been American Airlines, followed by PSA Airlines, and Piedmont.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Ashe, Avery, and Watauga counties through Monday afternoon and evening as sleet will likely transition into snow later today. We can see between one and two inches of snow for elevations above 3,500 feet.
We’ll hold on to a Winter Weather Advisory for the I-40 corridor and the foothill of North Carolina as sleet and snow taper off later Monday morning. We’ll likely see all rain for points south of I-40 heading into Uptown.

Temperatures are in the 30s Monday morning with cloudy skies and wet weather limiting the amount of cooling we’ve seen overnight. After the rain tapers off, clouds make way for pockets of sunshine as temperatures make a run for the low 50s. Winds will pick up out of the west between 6 and 11 miles per hour but wind gusts can be as fast as 28 miles per hour at times.
A Wind Advisory will be in effect for our mountain counties Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning with 55-mile-per-hour wind gusts possible for some of our highest elevations. Much colder temperatures will settle in courtesy of the breezy conditions.
Look for highs to settle in the 40s and overnight lows to dip into the 20s all week long before the rain and potential snow mix back in for the end of the work week and start of the weekend.
