Brian Short, Director of Emergency Operations for Henderson and Vance County, emailed the latest National Weather Service slides to local media and emergency preparedness teams.
The expected snow totals have increased for the entire WIZS coverage area. Henderson and Louisburg are shown with 1 to 2 inch totals while Oxford and Warrenton are forecast with 2 to 3 inch snowfall amounts.
Short said in his email:
“…this event has not gone as planned so far as several counties to our south and west have already received 3 to 4 inches of snow. Our forecast totals have also increased.
“All we can do at this point is wait and see how much we actually get and then adjust our emergency response posture if it should become necessary. Even with the forecast change, we are not expecting the impact to be severe but could likely be more than what we were expecting.
“Additional information will be forwarded along as it is received.”
As mentioned, forecast totals have increased to the south and west of Vance County, and this is something that also must be monitored. The National Weather Service now has areas just south of Raleigh under a Winter Weather Warning.
