SNOW CHANCES INCREASING FOR VA AND NC

[hurricanedude]

...APPEARS TO BE BETTER CHANCE FOR WINTRY-TYPE PRECIPITATION
ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST
TODAY... THEN REFORM OFF THE GEORGIA COAST THURSDAY MORNING. THE
TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM NOW SUGGESTS A CHANCE OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION
ACROSS SECTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT.

AT THIS TIME... THE GREATEST CHANCE OF A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW IS
IN THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT... SANDHILLS AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN OF
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. THE PRECIPITATION MAY BE LOCALLY HEAVY
ENOUGH AT TIMES FROM LAURINBURG TO FAYETTEVILLE TO GOLDSBORO WHERE A
SLUSHY 1 TO 3 INCHES OF WET SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE. TIMING OF THE
GREATEST CHANCE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IS FROM LATE THURSDAY TOWARD
NIGHTFALL AND CONTINUING THURSDAY NIGHT.

TO THE WEST AND NORTH OF THIS REGION... INCLUDING ALBEMARLE...
CARTHAGE... RALEIGH... ROCKY MOUNT AND HALIFAX...NORTH AND WEST...A
MIXTURE OF LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW IS POSSIBLE BUT IT APPEARS AMOUNTS
SHOULD BE LIGHT.

AS HAS BEEN STATED IN PAST STATEMENTS ISSUED EARLIER THIS WEEK...
THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX WEATHER SYSTEM...AND THERE REMAINS A GOOD
DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY. IF FURTHER ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT PRECIPITATION
MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD OR HEAVIER THAN ANTICIPATED...THEN A WINTER
STORM WATCH OR WARNING MAY BE NEEDED FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA FOR LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
