Heavy snowfall for some in North Carolina on Saturday, storm begins late Friday, Jan. 29 update

A Winter Storm Watch in effect for most of North Carolina with a Winter Storm Warning in effect for the Mountains along the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is increasing confidence that we may have a chance for snow on Saturday. We are monitoring the chance for Gulf moisture and a coastal low that may bring Atlantic moisture this weekend. Right now, there is a chance for mostly snow if the low-pressure system and front move up into the correct position along the North Carolina coast. There is uncertainty about how long we may see moisture lift over the Piedmont Triad. Snowfall totals will be widely varied in the Piedmont Triad based on forecast model predictions and limiting forecast elements like an influx of dry air at times in the storm. Some areas of the region may receive heavy banding of snow with 4-6” snowfall totals, but there is expected to be spotty areas int the Foothills and Triad receiving lower 2-4” totals. The WXII 12 First Warning Weather Team has high confidence that this will be an all-snow event inland, but we have lower confidence in snowfall totals. Forecast challenges include dry air entrainment that would limit totals, the low’s position as it intensifies, and whether mid-level energy algins with the low’s intensification. The Outer Banks may end up with the highest snowfall totals in the state due to the proximity of the coast to the low-pressure system. Sporadic power outages may become likely on Saturday and Sunday, especially for areas with higher snowfall amounts. Slippery Travel will also continue.
