6:30 am

Forecast:
Remains unchanged. Everything is looking good this morning. The NAM has now come into better agreement with the other models.

Mountains: Rain/sleet this morning will change to a heavy wet snow between 8 and 10 am. Around Boone expect 3 or 4 inches with the 5,6 and maybe 7 inches up towards Ashe County. South of Boone into Avery County expect lower amounts of 2-4 inches. Check out the snow map on the previous post.
Friday night into Saturday expect light snow/flurries to break out, not expecting much accumulation.

Foothills: Sleet has been mixing with Rain this morning, expecially in the heavier showers. Caldwell County Schools are on a two hour delay. For the rest of this morning, expect some heavier rain/sleet to come through and maybe even a bit of thunder. I still expect the rain to mix or change over to snow this evening only accumulating to a dusting and it will be slushy.

Piedmont: Heavy rain showers will move through the northern piedmont with maybe some sleet and thunder. Mostly light rain elsewhere. Tonight rain should come to an end, possible mixing with a few snow flakes before ending.

Off to work!
