NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY...USHERING IN MUCH COLDER AIR. ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL COMBINE WITH THE COLD AIR TO CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW SHOWERS IN THE HIGH TERRAIN THANKSGIVING NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN THE FORECAST OF SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...BUT LOCATIONS NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER AND AT ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3500 FEET WOULD EXPERIENCE THE HIGHEST ACCUMULATIONS. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT ACCUMULATIONS UP TO ABOUT TWO INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THESE NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW PRONE AREAS...WHILE THE LOWER MOUNTAIN VALLEYS MIGHT SEE LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION. STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST FORECASTS SINCE THESE PROJECTIONS CAN CHANGE CONSIDERABLY BETWEEN NOW AND THURSDAY NIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOWFALL...GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP IN THE THURSDAY NIGHT TO FRIDAY NIGHT PERIOD. SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WILL BE LIKELY BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH POSSIBLE ALONG THE HIGHER RIDGE TOPS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... NONE. $$
