of 1 to 2 inches will be possible in the extreme southern
mountains of North Carolina...with isolated 3 inch accumulations
at the highest ridge tops.
Additional northwest flow snowfall will continue across the North
Carolina mountains Wednesday through Wednesday night...with 2 to 4
inch snowfall totals expected. Strong northwest winds will also
develop Wednesday morning across the area...and continue through
Wednesday night. Wind speeds of 35 to 45 mph will be
possible...and winds may gusts to between 50 and 60 mph at times.

WarningSum:...High Wind Watch In Effect From Wednesday Morning Through Late
Wednesday Night...
Warning Message:The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued
a high wind watch...which is in effect from Wednesday morning
through late Wednesday night.
Very strong northwest winds will develop across the region on

from 30 to 40 mph. Damaging wind gusts may develop by mid day and
remain into the early morning hours on Thursday. Peak gusts are

58 mph or stronger may occur. Continue to monitor the latest
forecasts.
