...ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW EXPECTED ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE TEXAS COAST ON FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST...AND SPREAD RAIN ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH SNOW IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS. AS THE LOW TRACKS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL...CHANGING THE RAIN TO SNOW EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. SNOW MAY CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY.

THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TRACK OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...WHICH WILL HAVE A STRONG IMPACT ON HOW MUCH SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE. SLIGHT CHANGES IN THE TRACK OF THE STORM CAN LEAD TO HIGHER OR LOWER AMOUNTS THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS COULD RECEIVE OVER 4 INCHES OF SNOW. LOCATIONS IN THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU...TENNESSEE VALLEY...AND SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA APPEAR MORE LIKELY TO RECEIVE LESS THAN 4 INCHES.

I hope he is right. The weathermen have had a tough time this winter forecasts.

Wolf....wolf....wolf....the National Weather Service is the little boy who cried wolf.

They haven't gotten one right this winter. Why should we expect them to be on target this time?
