...NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

Northwest flow moisture will develop behind a departing cold
front this afternoon into tonight across the western North Carolina
mountains. With colder air filtering in behind the front, temperatures
will gradually fall near or below freezing this afternoon into
this evening. This will allow rain showers to gradually transition
to snow showers. Snowfall totals from 1-3 inches will be mainly
confined to elevations above 3500 ft, although half an inch to an
inch of snow should fall in the valleys along/near the NC/TN
border. The highest snowfall amounts are expected to fall across
the Smokies, with 4-6 inches expected. Locally higher amounts will
be possible, especially above 4,000 ft. Some light snow or
flurries may spill into northern Jackson County, southern Haywood
County, and southern Buncombe County this evening. However, no
accumulations are expected. Snow should taper off prior to
daybreak Friday. Additionally, gusty northwest winds will develop
behind the front ranging from 35-45 mph today, increasing to 45-50
mph this evening into late tonight. A Wind Advisory is in effect
for the North Carolina mountains from 8pm this evening through 8am
Friday.

Plan on slippery road conditions. Slow down and use caution while
driving as snow will impact the evening commute.
