Possible Winter Weather Advisory

The NWS will be issuing a Winter Weather Advisory for location from Highway 1 west across the western piedmont for Wednesday. Although temperature are not all that cold currently, cold air will be surging into the area tomorrow as moisture spreads in from the south. The cold air and moisture will combine to produce a period of rain which will change over to snow during the day Wednesday.


Given the facts that current temperatures have not been very cold and the cold air will be moving in the same time as the moisture, snow accumulations should be limited to grassy and elevated surfaces. In some areas where the snow is very light much of the snow may melt upon contact with the ground. In areas where the snow is more moderate in intensity there could be a brief accumulation of up to 2 inches. Again the timing of the snow will be from shortly before noon through 5 pm Wednesday.
