This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Snow will move into the area from the north this afternoon into
the evening and intensify overnight, especially in the eastern
half of the area.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday
Snow will continue through the day on Saturday before gradually
tapering off north to south during the evening. Heavy snow
accumulations of 4 to 8 inches are expected in the eastern half of
the area with lesser but still significant snow accumulations
further south and west. The lightest amounts will be in the
southern Plateau and southern Valley. Very cold temperatures will
allow snow to accumulate quickly and on most surfaces.
Another surge of bitter cold air is expected Friday night
into the weekend, with very low wind chills late Friday night
through early Sunday. See the Extreme Cold Watch and Cold Weather
Advisory for more information.
