Winter Weather Alerts

Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect this morning for the southern Appalachians and along coastal Virginia and North Carolina. Some additional accumulation is possible before the system departs the region. Strong wind gusts will create areas of blowing and drifting snow, mainly in the higher elevations.

Forecast

The low pressure center has pushed offshore and will move away from the region today (Thursday). This will bring an end to the precipitation.

Additional snowfall will be fairly light in accumulation across the region.
