Winter weather possible Friday into Saturday

The National Weather Service in Morehead City/Newport is monitoring the potential for accumulating snowfall across much of eastern North Carolina Friday night into Saturday.

Low pressure passing off the coast will likely bring rain to the area Friday, transitioning to snow as temps drop into the upper 20s to lower 30s Friday night and Saturday morning. There is still significant uncertainty with respect to the snowfall amounts and coverage, but areas further north currently look to have the more favorable conditions for snowfall accumulation.

Snowfall amounts and timing details will come into better focus over the next day or so.
