...WINTER STORM WARNING IS CANCELLED...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS CANCELLED THE
WINTER STORM WARNING. 

THE MASSIVE LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO PULL FURTHER FROM THE

WESTERN COUNTIES. THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THAT COUNTIES MAY
RECEIVE ANOTHER INCH OR TWO OF SNOW TONIGHT BUT THE HEAVIEST WILL
REMAIN WELL TO THE EAST. VISIBILITIES WILL IMPROVE AND SNOWFALL
RATES WILL LESSEN OVERNIGHT.

ONCE THE LOW COMPLETELY WRAPS UP, WINDS WILL SHIFT AROUND TO THE
NORTHWEST AT 15 TO 20 MPH ALLOWING ANY OF THE ACCUMULATED SNOW TO
CONTINUE TO BLOW AND DRIFT.
