This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central North Carolina.
.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.
A combination of continued unseasonably cold temperatures and an
occasionally breezy northwesterly wind will produce wind chill values
in the single digits to teens Thursday morning.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
Confidence continues to increase for measurable snow in central NC
Friday night into Sunday morning. Although considerable forecast
uncertainty remains regarding amounts and related impacts, the
potential exists for significant snow anywhere from the Carolinas
into portions of the Middle Atlantic.
That increasing potential for snow will be accompanied by Arctic
cold and a blustery wind that will produce multiple mornings of wind
chill values in the single digits below zero to single digits above
zero through the weekend.

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northeast Georgia, Piedmont
North Carolina, western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.
.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.
Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
Temperatures will remain very cold through early next week. A
strong arctic front may bring the coldest weather of the season
this weekend. Temperatures across portions of the area are likely
to remain continuously below freezing from Friday evening until at
least Monday afternoon. As this period of unusually cold weather
prolongs, the potential for damage to infrastructure, including
burst water pipes will steadily increase.
In addition to the cold weather, confidence is increasing that wintry
precipitation will develop across the area beginning Friday evening,
continuing into Saturday, with snow expected to be the primary
precipitation type. Significant accumulations of snow are possible
across much of the area, with impacts to travel being the primary
concern.
