...WINTER WEATHER POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND
NORTHEAST GEORGIA THIS WEEKEND...

Confidence is increasing that a winter storm will develop this
weekend across the region as low pressure tracks across the deep
south and moves off the southeast coast on Sunday. The storm has
the potential to produce a significant amount of snow across parts
of western North Carolina, the northern Upstate of South
Carolina, and the mountains of northeast Georgia. Precipitation
could begin as early as daybreak Saturday over southwest North
Carolina and northeast Georgia, spreading northeast through the
day. Conditions may deteriorate from southwest to northeast during
Saturday afternoon and evening across the area north of
Interstate 85. The precipitation is most likely to fall as snow
across most of the mountains, with a heavy accumulation possible
Saturday night and Sunday. Snow amounts are still uncertain, but
amounts in excess of six inches are possible across the mountains,
foothills, and northwest Piedmont of North Carolina. Some sleet
and freezing rain could mix in across the Little Tennessee River
Valley and along the I-85 corridor. The potential also exists for
a corridor of significant ice accumulation across the area south
of Interstate 85 Saturday night and Sunday morning. The wintry
precipitation may persist across parts of the region through
Monday. People with travel plans across the area this weekend
should monitor the latest weather forecasts. Future developments
will determine when and where a Winter Storm Watch will be issued.
