The latest run of the GFS computer forecast model continues to advertise a swath of heavy, wet snow from the Tennessee / North Carolina border up through much of West Virginia.
The image above depicts snowfall totals in excess of 18 inches within the brown shaded area. Most of this would occur above 2,500 to 3,000 feet. A close-up view is shown below, scale in inches on the right:
Combine the heavy, wet snow with surface winds of 35-45 mph and blizzard to near blizzard conditions will be the result, along with widespread power outages.
