The second winter storm this week is possible for North Carolina and South Carolina.
WCNC Charlotte Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich says the bulk of the possible winter weather (snow, ice, and sleet) are expected Friday in the Carolinas. Some additional wintry precipitation could start as late as Thursday night and also continue into early Saturday morning.
A cold front stalling off the Carolina coast will steer a low pressure along the shoreline. It's that low-pressure system that will feed in moisture. That moisture will mix with cold air, which is being pushed south because of high pressure to our north.
There is still uncertainty about possible accumulation totals of ice and snow because of the complexity of the setup.
In this video, Brad Panovich provides his preliminary forecast on possible accumulations. If Brad's forecast verifies, the highest accumulation numbers could be over Raleigh, Durham, and Cary. Unlike last weekend's winter storm, which brought the highest accumulations to the western North Carolina mountains, this next encounter of winter weather could bring the highest amounts across the piedmont of central North Carolina. Some wintry precipitation in the form of sleet and ice could even occur along the North Carolina and South Carolina coast, including Wilmington and Myrtle Beach.
Charlotte is once again on the dividing line, with a big gamble on what falls as rain and what falls as snow. Brad Panovich's initial forecast puts between one and three inches of snow in Charlotte with this storm.
