Good Morning,

    We are monitoring the potential for accumulating snowfall across much of eastern North Carolina Friday night into Saturday.

    Low pressure passing off the coast will likely bring rain to the area Friday, transitioning to snow as temps drop into the upper 20s to lower 30s Friday night and Saturday morning. There is still significant uncertainty with respect to the snowfall amounts and coverage, but areas further north currently look to have the more favorable conditions for snowfall accumulation. The attached map shows where conditions currently look most favorable for snowfall impacts.

    Snowfall amounts and timing details will come into better focus over the next day or so. In the meantime, please help us encourage everyone to make sure they are getting their weather information from reliable sources.
