Discussion
Low pressure will approach the southern California/northern Baja California region today from the eastern Pacific Ocean and it will then re-emerge over Texas by early Saturday morning. From there, this late week/weekend storm will head towards the Carolina coastline and it should produce a swath of heavy rain along the way in the Deep South and heavy snow on the north side from Oklahoma-to-southwestern Virginia/interior North Carolina. In fact, some higher elevation spots in southwest Virginia and interior North Carolina could see 1-2 feet of snow if this weekend storm reaches its full potential. After that, the storm could stay primarily to the south of the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with little or no impact; however, it is still too early to take it off the table.
