NWS: Confidence increases for impacts from winter storm Wednesday, Thursday

We have increasing confidence that a winter storm will impact Eastern NC Wednesday and Thursday. We have issued Winter Storm Watches for most of the area, for a combination of accumulating snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

Though the potential for wintry weather is high, there remains much uncertainty what "type" of wintry weather will be seen in the counties of Eastern NC (whether that be sleet, freezing rain, or snow). This is because subtle track/forecast changes can have significant changes to the overall precipitation type.
