BEWARE OF PATCHY BLACK ICE THIS MORNING
The National Weather Services advises that temperatures have fallen below freezing across the area, causing lingering runoff from melted snow and sleet to refreeze on
untreated roads. Patchy black ice can be expected once again through this morning. Icy patches will remain until temperatures
can warm above freezing in the late morning hours.
If traveling this morning, be prepared for slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.
ROADWAYS
Town Public Works crews have been plowing town roads and will continue to do so when it is safe this morning. The Lake Lure Fire Department is working to assist with road safety and addressing tress that have fallen across any Town Roads. NC DOT maintains State roads. Lake Lure Police continue to respond as needed.
CALL 9-1-1 for all emergencies.
DELAYED OPENING
Out of an abundance of caution and due to the hazardous weather conditions, Town of Lake Lure offices will operate on a delayed schedule and meetings have been canceled. Offices will open at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. You may always email Communications@townoflakelure.com for questions or suggestions.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
Temperatures will remain very cold through early next week. A strong arctic front may bring the coldest weather of the season
this weekend. Temperatures across portions of the area are likely to remain continuously below freezing from Friday evening until at least Monday afternoon. As this period of unusually cold weather
prolongs, the potential for damage to infrastructure, including burst water pipes will steadily increase.
In addition to the cold weather, confidence is increasing that wintry precipitation will develop across the area beginning Friday evening, continuing into Saturday, with snow expected to be the primary precipitation type. Significant accumulations of snow are possible across much of the area, with impacts to travel being the primary concern.
