AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS ON SATURDAY. THIS LOW WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. IT APPEARS TEMPERATURES LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH
OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THAT THE RAIN COULD
BEGIN AS A MIX WITH FREEZING RAIN. THIS AREA INCLUDES THE
TRIAD...TRIANGLE AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. HOWEVER...ANY MIXTURE
IS EXPECTED TO BE BRIEF AND CONFINED TO THE EARLY MORNING. ALL RAIN
IS EXPECTED OVER THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS WHICH INCLUDES ALBEMARLE...
FAYETTEVILLE...SMITHFIELD AND GOLDSBORO.

THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY TO THE TRACK AND SPEED OF THIS
DEVELOPING WEATHER SYSTEM WHICH WILL IMPACT THE AMOUNT OF
PRECIPITATION WHICH FALLS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION.

ALL PERSONS LIVING IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA SHOULD STAY ABREAST
OF THE LATEST FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

OH well looks like our chances are small, because the precip has to come at the right time (at night) for it to be of any significance ??

One thing I have painfully learned over the years living down here in N VA is that if you are wishing upon a complex scenario, it's probably in vain.

That is years of gut-wrenching heartbreak condensed into a single sentence.

You either learn or burn.

I have been burned really bad this winter. I've got 3rd degree burns all over my snow goose body. I don't want to burn anymore. It hurts.

So, I am cautious. I'll be cautious right up until I wake up one morning and actually see three inches of snow on my lawn and nearly have a major heart attack from shock.

I will be calling for 1 to 2 inches of snow followed by rain even though the NWS is calling for three times as much with no rain expected, right down until I see the snow in my yard.
