..MORE SNOW HEADING IN OUR DIRECTION...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FORMING OVER THE GULF COAST STATES IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE OFF THE SOUTHERN NORTH CAROLINA COAST THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
HEAD NORTHEAST THURSDAY NIGHT. THE EXPECTED STORM TRACK SHOULD BE
CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE COAST FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCUMULATING
SNOWFALL OF AT LEAST SEVERAL INCHES. 

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST 
BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, BECOMING HEAVIER TOWARD EVENING AND THEN 
SLOWLY DECREASE IN INTENSITY AFTER MIDNIGHT.

WHILE SOME MELTING IS POSSIBLE AT THE ONSET OF THE SNOW ON HEAVIER
TRAVELED ROADS, UNDER THE PRESENT SCENARIO MOST IF NOT ALL UNTREATED
ROADS SHOULD BE SNOW COVERED BY THE EVENING COMMUTE. WINDS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE THAT STRONG AND, THEREFORE, BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. CONVERSELY THIS SNOW IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A
HEAVY WET ONE EITHER AND SHOULD NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS TO POWER LINES. 

PLEASE LISTEN FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS OR 
ADVISORIES. PLEASE MAKE THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS TODAY AND 
THURSDAY MORNING BEFORE THE SNOW ARRIVES.
