From the National Weather Service

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.
A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE AREA IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. LATE CHRISTMAS
DAY. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN AS IT TURNS NE ALONG THE
SC AND NC COAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

WHILE THERE REMAINS A FAIRLY WIDE RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES AS TO THE
EXACT STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THIS STORM...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING
THAT CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WILL SEE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF A SIGNIFICANT
WINTER STORM FOR A PORTION OF CENTRAL NC SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY.

EVERYONE SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS AS A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM COULD IMPACT THE REGION.
