...ACCUMULATING ICE AND SLEET POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS PARTS OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA...
.A deep low pressure system moving east from the plains states
will send abundant moisture into the region atop a wedge of
surface-based cold air Wednesday night. This setup will be
favorable for not only heavy precipitation, but also the
development of freezing rain and sleet - especially over the
central and northern Blue Ridge mountains and the adjacent
foothills. Heavy accumulations of freezing rain and sleet could
lead to power outages and hazardous travel conditions.
...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. The precipitation
will be predominately freezing rain, but it may mix with rain
and sleet at times. Total ice accumulations from freezing rain
may reach one-quarter inch, with isolated pockets possibly
approaching one-half inch of ice along the immediate eastern
slopes of the Blue Ridge mountains. Total sleet accumulations
may range from one-tenth to one-half inch, especially just east
of the Blue Ridge.
* WHERE...Locations along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge
mountains and the immediately adjacent foothills of western
North Carolina.
* WHEN...From Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Power outages and tree damage are likely
due to the ice. Sleet accumulations may make roads treacherous.
Travel may be quite hazardous in impacted areas. The hazardous
conditions could impact the morning commute on Thursday.

FLOODING ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA...
.A deep low pressure system moving east from the plains will
produce a southeasterly fetch of abundant Gulf of Mexico and
Atlantic moisture starting Wednesday, peaking on Wednesday night,
and slowly diminishing on Thursday. Very wet ground conditions,
along with currently high stream levels, will heighten the risk of

falling on Wednesday night.
* This heavy rainfall will impact locations that received 2 to 4
inches of rain on Monday. The ground remains saturated and
stream levels across the region are running quite high. This
