THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WATCH, WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH

OCCASIONAL MAINLY LIGHT SNOW IS ANTICIPATED TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
MORNING, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. AS A RESULT, UP

ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE NORTHWARD NEAR THE MID

POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD BE FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. WITH TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO BE MOSTLY
IN THE 30S, A HEAVY WET SNOW IS EXPECTED. THIS TYPE OF SNOW WOULD
STICK TO TREES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT STILL HAVE THEIR LEAVES, AND
POWER LINES. AS A RESULT, POWER OUTAGES AND DAMAGE TO TREES ARE
POSSIBLE.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THAT HEAVY SNOW IS POSSIBLE, BUT NOT A
CERTAINTY. AT THIS TIME, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT
WET SNOWFALL ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, WHICH COULD
HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON TREES AND POWER LINES. TRAVEL
CONDITIONS COULD BECOME HAZARDOUS, THEREFORE MONITOR THE LATEST
FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL IN THE
