For anyone heading to snowshoe….from the Charleston office.
This event will turn more into an
upslope event by the overnight on Thursday. Besides snow,
another potential hazard is going to be the wind gusts with the
highest winds in the lowlands expected during the early morning
hours and up to 35mph. The higher elevations will strengthen up
to 45mph+ by the late evening and continue into late Thursday
night. An advisory will likely be issued for this hazard across
the highest elevations. Among the 1-2 inches forecast in the
lowlands and 2-4+ inches (with higher amounts confined to the
higher elevations up to 10 inches) possible particularly across
the Webster/Randolph border on the western slopes near Snowshoe,
an advisory is likely to be issued as well for this time frame.
Any snow activity will continue into the next period with just
upslope snow by Friday morning.
