This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

...Severe Storms Late this Afternoon and Evening...

Showers and thunderstorms will move across the area late this
afternoon and early tonight. Some of these storms may be severe,
with damaging winds the primary threat. However, isolated
tornadoes are possible as well, especially across the Plateau and
southeast Tennessee. There is also a threat for isolated large
hail with any stronger storms.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

...Wintry Conditions Return across the Mountains Friday and
Saturday...

A storm system with unseasonably cold air will move into the
southern Appalachians for Friday and Saturday. Widespread showers
can be expected with the air mass becoming cold enough to change
the rain to snow across the higher elevations, generally above
3000 feet. Light snow accumulations are anticipated across the
highest elevations, such as the Smoky and Roane Mountains of east
Tennessee, and High Knob in Virginia. Snowfall of 1 to 3 inches
are expected, generally at or above 4000 feet.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and evening.
