..RAIN POSSIBLY MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SNOW SUNDAY
WIDESPREAD RAINS WILL IMPACT THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY
AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORMS
OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S COAST. THE RAIN MAY MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO
ALL SNOW SUNDAY MORNING AS COLDER AIR FILTERS IN THE REGION BEHIND
THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. THE RISK FOR ANY SNOW WILL BE GREATEST
ALONG AND WEST OF LINE FROM REIDSVILLE TO STATESBORO AND ALLENDALE.
THIS INCLUDES COMMUNITIES SUCH AS METTER, MILLEN, EMMALANE, HILLTONIA,
SYLVANIA, HOPEULIKIT, MARTIN AND ULMER.
WHILE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME,
SOME VERY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM MID-MORNING
SUNDAY THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. ACCUMULATIONS, SHOULD
THEY OCCUR, WOULD MOST LIKELY BE CONFINED TO GRASSY AREAS AND
OTHER ELEVATED SURFACES SUCH AS ROOF TOPS. ISOLATED SLICK SPOTS
COULD ALSO OCCUR ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, BUT SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL
IMPACTS ARE NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME GIVEN TEMPERATURES WILL
LARGELY REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING. ANY SNOW THAT ACCUMULATES WILL
QUICKLY MELT ONCE THE SNOW ENDS, THUS LIMITING ITS IMPACT.
SHOULD THE RISK FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL INCREASE, A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE ISSUED FOR THE AREA.
