...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AND WINTER STORM WATCH ARE IN EFFECT... 
.A COMPLEX WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BE EFFECTING THE REGION THROUGH THE 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND. MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH AN ARCTIC FRONTAL BOUNDARY 
BROUGHT SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE AREA THIS MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE FROM 
THE NORTH WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA TONIGHT PUSHING MOST OF THE SNOW 
TO THE SOUTH. THEN AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE TO THE 
TENNESSEE VALLEY SUNDAY AND THEN REDEVELOP ON THE COAST SUNDAY NIGHT 
CAUSING MORE WINTRY WEATHER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THIS LOW HAS THE 
POTENTIAL TO BRING HEAVY SNOWS IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES TO THE REGION.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW OR MIXED SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS. FUTURE DRIVING AND WALKING
CONDITIONS MAY BECOME HAZARDOUS...SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO MONITOR THE
LATEST FORECASTS.
