Discussion
After producing a major impact today on the southern states with significant snow and ice, the low pressure system responsible will head to the coastal waters of the Carolinas by early tomorrow. While support in the upper-atmosphere will be limited for the surface low in terms of its ability to generate significant upward motion, snow is likely to overspread our region before midnight and continue into early Saturday morning. Small accumulations are likely by the time it winds down early Saturday on the order of a coating to a couple of inches. High pressure will follow for the rest of the weekend with a reinforcing cold air mass pushing into the Mid-Atlantic region.
