Discussion
Low pressure slammed into southern California yesterday and it will take a southern route over the next few days from Texas to the Carolina coastline and then head slowly "out-to-sea" rather than up the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Given this track, there will likely be little-to-no impact around here in the NYC metro region from the late weekend storm, but we'll continue to monitor it for possible last minute changes. Heavy rain will fall across the Deep South and heavy snow is likely along and just to the north of Route I-40 from Oklahoma to interior North Carolina/southern Virginia. The heaviest snowfall may, in fact, end up occurring in the higher elevation locations of western North Carolina where 1-2 feet could ultimately accumulate over the upcoming weekend. Looking ahead, signs point to a major storm to deal with at the end of next week and following weekend in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US likely with rain or perhaps some combination of rain and snow.
