There may be a little more snow in the Outer Banks’ future, per the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Newport / Morehead City.
The NWS is forecasting light snow in primarily northern and inland regions of Eastern North Carolina beginning Wednesday afternoon and ending Wednesday evening. Precipitation may begin as rain, then quickly transition to snow across Eastern N.C. from northwest to southeast through the afternoon and early evening.
