before all of the moisture pushes offshore. please keep in mind that the forecast will all be dependent on the precise track of the storm. right now, southside, the eastern shore and parts of inland north carolina could see anywhere from 1 to 2" of snow. most of our communities along the peninsulas could see between 2 and 4" of snow. however, we ll have to watch some of our northern peninsula communities. if there is any shift in the storm s track, we could see areas like williamsburg, gloucester, mathews and middlesex counties receiving between 4 and 6" of snow. the albemarle and the outer banks will likely see snow. so stay tuned. in addition to the snow and rain, we will see very strong winds. winds will start to crank up on friday with gusts to near 30 mph. gusts could reach to 40+ mph on saturday and sunday. winds will start from the ne but shift to the north. this could create some coastal and tidal flooding issues, especially for parts of the southside. for next week, we re expecting the sunshine to return, with highs back in the upper 40s and
