While this incoming system will wreak havoc on several levels in the Southeast Wednesday, for ACA it's another high wind even that is of concern. I don't see MPH numbers like we had recently, but between midnight tonight and early tomorrow morning gusts to 35 mph are possible, with gusts above 30 through Wednesday.
Plenty of rain coming as well, though the heaviest amounts will be on the southeastern edge of the Blue Ridge (Highlands, Lake Toxaway, Brevard, etc.). With saturated soils and trees weakened by our prior high wind event that brought down some trees here, conditions are ripe for more downed trees and power outages.
While we could have some thunderstorms Wednesday, well down into the Piedmont and Coastal Plain there could be tornadoes spawned. 'Tis a vigorous system that I hope spares us from any brunt to be had.
While there is a potential for lightly accumulating snow overnight Wednesday into Thursday, significant accumulations are not expected (maps listing 0-1" for ACA, maybe 2" on TN border). With that said, I had a big issue with the last little white road covering so be aware of potential problems early Thursday morning. Better chance for snow, albeit very light, will be Saturday evening into early Sunday morning when another cold front plows through. I'll cross that bridge later.
