...SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

Reports of light to moderate snow with gusty winds are coming out
of the North Carolina mountains. Snow will continue to fall
through the early afternoon hours with wind gusts of 20-30 mph,
and locally stronger gusts at higher elevations. A light dusting
of snow is possible, with up to an inch at the highest peaks.

Use cautions when driving as the potential for slippery road
conditions are possible.
