A DEVELOPING STORM IN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES WILL MOVE
STEADILY EASTWARD THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...
ABUNDANT GULF MOISTURE WILL SURGE INTO THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND
NORTHEAST GEORGIA FRIDAY...SETTING THE STAGE FOR WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN...WIND AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE UPSTATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA...WHILE
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA COULD SEE RAIN...FREEZING RAIN...SLEET...
SNOW AND THUNDERSTORMS. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END FROM THE
WEST ON MONDAY.

LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY DAYBREAK FRIDAY IN THE

INITIALLY...SOME MOUNTAIN VALLEYS MAY SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING
RAIN AT ONSET. THE REST OF THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS...AND AREAS
ALONG...AND NORTH OF...INTERSTATE 40...COULD SEE A MORNING RAIN AND
SNOW MIXTURE. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL WARM THROUGHOUT THE DAY...

TEMPERATURES POSSIBLY RISING INTO THE 60S IN THE UPSTATE AND
NORTHEAST GEORGIA. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION FROM THE NORTH
DURING THE AFTERNOON...USHERING IN MUCH COOLER AIR. AS THE

RAIN...SLEET...FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
ANY ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE OR SNOW FOR THE LATE WEEKEND WILL BE HIGHLY

THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR 2 TO 3 INCHES OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT
PRECIPITATION TO FALL ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NORTH CAROLINA
