THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OFF THE CAROLINA
COAST TONIGHT AND THEN TRACK QUICKLY NORTHEAST UP THE COAST ON
SATURDAY. RAIN WILL DEVELOP FRIDAY NIGHT AND SPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA ON SATURDAY. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC LATE SATURDAY ALLOWING COLDER AIR TO
MOVE INTO THE REGION. THE ARRIVAL OF THE COLD AIR MAY ALLOW THE
RAIN TO MIX WITH OR CHANGEOVER TO LIGHT SNOW FOR A SHORT TIME LATE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING... MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA. THE PRECIPITATION WILL QUICKLY END
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
THE EXPECTED QUICK MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM... COMBINED WITH THE LACK
OF A STRONG AND COLD HIGH PRESSURE... SHOULD LIMIT MOISTURE AND COLD
AIR NEEDED FOR A WINTER STORM. LITTLE IF ANY SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.
