The highest ice totals will be in the northwestern counties where up to 0.2 inches is expected. A glaze is possible near I-40. Gusty wind will increase stress on trees and powerlines, enhancing a power outage risk.

Temperatures won't rise much above freezing on Friday, so our areas won't have much help with melting until Saturday.
