...accumulating snow possible this weekend...

A low pressure system is forecast to develop near the gulf coast
friday before tracking across the southeastern states and then
northeast off the carolina coast. While the track of this storm
is still very uncertain...this system has the potential to bring
significant snow accumulations to the region christmas eve into
christmas day.

Precipitation is expected to move into the area friday afternoon or
friday night. The precipitation may begin as rain...especially over
southern areas...but is forecast to transition to all snow by early
saturday morning. The snow is forecast to diminish saturday...before
transitioning to snow showers and flurries for saturday night and
sunday.

The details of this system are still very uncertain...and there is
still the potential that much of the precipitation will fall as
rain or that the system will track far enough away that very little
precipitation will fall in our area. However...at this time it
appears likely that at least some snow will fall...and significant
accumulations are possible. Right now the best chances for
significant snow accumulations appear to be across southwest
virginia...the northern half of east tennessee...and the higher
elevations...where the probability of an extended period of rain is
lower.

Stay tuned to noaa weather radio and other local media for further
details or updates on this potential winter weather situation.

Most still going, although not too confidently due to continued great model differences, with a snowfall from late this evening into Saturday of about 1-4 inches as the northern disturbance tracks to our south but weakens as it nears, then as the second most southern disturbance takes over and turns up the coast, the northwest flow kicks in and the upslope looks to add more especially in the higher elevations from late Saturday and on into Monday probably providing the bulk of the snow once again with several more inches possible. Winter weather advisory probably going to be issued in a little while for the first wave, then we may see a winter storm watch for heavier snows in the higher elevations from later Saturday into Sunday night.

Winter Weather Advisory up midnight until noon Saturday, Winter Storm Watch up from Saturday evening until Monday afternoon.

Advisory details call for 1-2 or so through early Saturday, then possibly 6-12 beginning Saturday night into Monday morning across the higher elevations.
