Discussion
Low pressure slammed into southern California yesterday and it will take a southern route over the next few days with a big impact on much of the southern half of the nation. This system will re-emerge over eastern Texas early in the weekend and from there it should move towards the Carolina coastline. Given this track, heavy rain is likely to fall across much of the Deep South over the next couple of days and heavy snow is likely along and just to the north of Route I-40 from Oklahoma to interior North Carolina/southwestern Virginia. The heaviest snowfall may, in fact, end up occurring in the higher elevation locations of interior North Carolina and southwestern Virginia where 1-2 feet could ultimately accumulate over the upcoming weekend.
