Weather Alert: Special Weather Statement for Rabun, Buncombe, Northern Jackson, Macon, Southern Jackson, Transylvania, Henderson, Caldwell Mountains, Burke Mountains, McDowell Mountains
Severity: Moderate
Certainty: Observed
Urgency: Expected
Snow showers will increase in coverage and intensity across the mountains this afternoon and evening. Snow showers will be most concentrated across the North Carolina counties bordering Tennessee, where a Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the high elevations of Swain County, and Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the remainder of those counties. However, scattered snow showers are expected to develop east and south of the Tennessee border counties this afternoon into the evening, especially between 400 PM through 800 PM. Some of these showers could produce brief bursts of moderate to heavy snow. Most locations that receive these snow showers will see from a dusting to around an inch of accumulation. However, isolated locations could pick up a quick 1 to 2 inches. The most likely areas to see significant snow accumulations outside of the Advisory and Warning areas will be across northern Buncombe County, including the Weaverville area, and across the high elevations of northern Macon and northern Jackson Counties in North Carolina, and northern and western portions of Rabun County, Georgia. Additionally, isolated to scattered snow showers could develop outside the mountains this evening...mainly along the I-40 corridor in North Carolina, where some locations could receive a dusting of snow. If traveling across the area this afternoon, be prepared for sudden deterioration in driving conditions. Slow down and allow for plenty of space between yourself and other vehicles if snow covered roads are encountered.
