The National Weather Service warns of a "very significant winter storm" Friday into early Saturday.  The worst of the storm is expected Friday afternoon into early Saturday.

NWS predicts a potential for a foot or more of snow in some locations. The main uncertainty is how far west the heaviest snow will reach into the distant interior.

Along the coastal plain, rain/snow mixing could cut down on accumulations. There is also a chance of strong winds across portions of the coastal plain late Friday into early Saturday.
