PATCHY BLACK ICE WILL REDEVELOP OR PERSIST OVER MUCH OF THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... Fairly abundant clouds and chilly temperatures on Saturday kept much of the moisture from the recent mountain snowfall from drying up. With temperatures falling into the teens and lower 20s overnight, patches of black ice will likely develop or persist.
