Winter Storm Fern could bring a damaging amount of ice to the Southeast Saturday into Sunday. Rain will begin to change over to a mix of freezing rain and sleet on Saturday in places like Atlanta, Raleigh, Charlotte, Columbia, Nashville and Memphis. The rain/ice line continues to shift and the duration of ice accumulation will determine impacts. Either way, prepare for tree damage and extended power outages during the bitter cold. Travel will become difficult to impossible, so adjust plans now and be sure to have a winter emergency kit in your car just in case. Watch this video for the latest update.
