“There is still a high degree of uncertainty in the details such as snow amounts and where exactly the highest amounts occur,” the NWS Raleigh bureau said. “Forecast snow totals will not become available until Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning.”

The exact track and strength of a surface low-pressure system will determine the final precipitation type — likely snow — and the extent of impacts to travel and infrastructure.
