Wednesday into Wednesday night. Another surge of arctic air will
push into the area late next week through next weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
As of 325 PM Tue...Temperatures have "warmed" into the upper
20s to near freezing across Eastern NC early this afternoon.
Temps will begin to fall shortly, and may drop quite quickly
once the sun goes down. Low temperatures tonight will occur
early, likely around 1-3 am before high clouds invade the region
ahead of the impending Nor'Easter. Expect lows early Wednesday
morning in the low teens inland to the mid to upper 20s along
the coast. Temperatures should then rise into the upper teens
inland, and upper 20s along the coast by daybreak.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 325 PM Tue...Winter storm warnings have been issued for
all areas of the CWA with the exception of Ocracoke Island. A
strong Nor'Easter will produce initially rain and freezing rain
across Eastern NC, and then transition to accumulating snow
Wednesday evening into early Thursday afternoon. The highest
values are expected along the HWY 17 corridor with 3-5 inches
likely. Slightly lower amounts of 2-4 inches are expected both
to the east and west. Across the Outer Banks little to no
accumulation is expected south of Oregon Inlet, with 2-3 inches
likely across the Northern Outer Banks.
The low pressure system is expected to develop north of the
Bahamas Wednesday morning, and will quickly strengthen and move
up the southeast coast. Forecast models have trended towards a
stronger solution with the latest GFS and ECMWF bombing out a
970-980 mb low due east of Cape Hatteras. It remains to be seen
whether this trend will lead to any increase in QPF or snow
amounts.
Even though air temps will rise above freezing Wednesday morning
east of HWY 17, the ground surface temperatures will still be
below freezing, which could allow some ice accumulations to
occur especially on elevated surfaces. Further west
precipitation should also begin as freezing rain with temps
below freezing, and should then transition to snow late in the
afternoon. The rain/snow line will slowly transition from west
to east from late afternoon into Wednesday night as cold air
wraps around the strengthening Nor'Easter. By early Thursday
morning, rain will change to snow over the Outer Banks leading
to some accumulations, and will be tapering off over the coastal
plain as the low pressure begins to move away from Eastern NC.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 315 PM Tuesday...Some snow will be ongoing NE coast early
Thu that shld end by midday with an additional 1/2 to 1 inch
nrn OBX. Went on cold side of guidance for highs Thu assuming
there will be a snow pack with most areas struggling to get
above freezing. Bitter cold arctic air will surge into the
region Thu night and cont into Sunday. Highs Fri and Sat will
struggle to reach 30 with lows poss roaching single digits to
lower teens inland with teens to around 20 beaches. Temps
moderate slightly Sunday as core of cold air begins to move away

Much warmer early next weak with zonal flow aloft and low lvl
flow becoming SW on backside of high. Temps shld warm into the
50s Mon. Next cold front wl aprroach Mon night and cross Tue
