NWS: Snow fall amounts trending upward, blowing and drifting snow expected

***Snowfall amounts have continued to trend upward***, and there is high confidence that we will see accumulating snow across all of Eastern NC starting after sunset tonight and lasting through tomorrow morning. Blowing and drifting snow is expected, and brief blizzard conditions are also possible, especially along the Outer Banks.

Confidence remains high that extremely cold weather will last through Thursday, with morning lows in the teens and wind chills in the single digits at times. Any snow that melts during the daytime will refreeze into black ice at night, prolonging hazardous travel conditions.
