Stay informed about the approaching winter storm with the potential for significant snow accumulation in central North Carolina. Low pressure developing offshore the FL/GA coast will track NE near the Carolina coast, leading to all snow precipitation in central NC due to the Arctic airmass. Expect a sharp precipitation cut-off near Highway 1 corridor with uncertainty on the low track and cut-off line. Higher snow chances along Highway 1 with potential for 2-4"+ accumulation. Winter storm watch may be issued for south and east of the Triangle area. Snow amounts and accumulation are most uncertain. Stay updated for possible heavy snow by early Wednesday morning.
