Winter Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:00 am EST on January 24, 2004
415 am EST Sat Jan 24 2004
... A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for much of central North Carolina Sunday until Sunday evening...
High pressure over the Great Lakes will drive much colder air into North Carolina late tonight. A low pressure system will approach from the southwest early Sunday morning. Moist southerly winds will flow over the cold air and bring a threat of snow and ice. The precipitation is expected to start around daybreak near Albemarle and Wadesboro... then spread quickly northeast over the rest of central North Carolina mid Sunday morning.
From The Triad and Lexington northeast across Burlington... Durham... Roxboro... to Henderson... the precipitation is expected to begin as mixed snow and sleet... becoming a mixture of sleet and freezing rain. Farther southeast... from Albemarle and Wadesboro northeast through Sanford... Raleigh... Nashville... to Roanoke Rapids... a mixture of sleet and freezing rain is expected... possibly starting as light snow.
Over this watch area... accumulations of mixed snow... sleet... and freezing rain are expected to total one half to one inch on the ground. Around one quarter inch of ice is likely on trees and elevated surfaces.
Southeast of the watch area... southeast of a line from Laurinburg to Lillington to Tarboro... the precipitation should start as a mix of sleet and snow quickly turning to freezing rain and then changing to all rain during the afternoon. Some ice accumulation is possible mainly on elevated surfaces and a Winter Weather Advisory may be needed for Sunday.
People across the area should make preparations for the wintry weather. In the event of a power outage. Make sure to have a flashlight... battery powered radio... and extra batteries. Anyone with travel plans Sunday should consider postponing them. Roads and highways will likely become hazardous.
Keep up with the latest forecasts and conditions by listening to NOAA Weather Radio.

This precip is going to have a hard time with the dry arctic air in place, with that said, i will lower my amounts for PHL north to 4-8" just north of the city, 3-5" for CNJ and 2-4" for NNJ(NYC also).
Why people change their amounts after every run is crazy to me but o well thats just me!
