Update from the NC Forecast Office Jan. 21: We are still tracking the potential for a significant winter storm to unfold across Eastern NC this weekend. The biggest changes this morning are increased confidence in ice and freezing rain impacts, and lower probabilities of snow impacts for most, except those along and north of US 264. The coast remains the biggest area of uncertainty regarding winter weather impacts due to lower confidence in sub-freezing temperatures.
Eastern North Carolina has been placed under a winter storm watch for this weekend, the National Weather Service’s NC Weather Forecast Office announced Tuesday morning.
It is too early to determine what type and amount of precipitation will fall. The storm could bring snow, ice, freezing rain or some combination of the three.
The Forecast Office will issue updates on timing and expected accumulation as additional data becomes available from forecasting models.
