Winter storm in the Carolinas: Round 2 forecast [Ep. 396]

Winter Storm Watches have been issued across North Carolina and South Carolina ahead of expected winter weather Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Unlike the storm earlier this week, the bulk of the winter weather is expected across the eastern half of the Carolinas. Snowfall accumulations at or above four inches are possible in Raleigh, Durham, and Cary, with upwards of eight inches in Elizabeth City. Greenville, North Carolina, and Fayetteville could see four inches of snow. Icing upwards of 0.30 of an inch is possible in Elizabethtown, New Bern, and Jacksonville. Some ice is even possible in Wilmington. While some snow is possible in the sandhills of South Carolina, including Chesterfield, Lancaster, and York, the primary threat for South Carolina will be ice, including in Columbia, Florence, Sumter, Camden, and Conway. A coating of ice is also possible along the coast, including Myrtle Beach and Charleston. This week on the Carolina Weather Group, our panel is providing forecast insight into the impacts ahead and reflections on the snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain seen Sunday.
