A storm AccuWeather meteorologists have had their eye on since the start of the month will drop a foot of snow on the southern Appalachians this weekend. The storm could also draw in enough cold air to allow snow to fall in lower elevations, including heavily populated areas from northern Alabama and Georgia to central portions of the Carolinas and Virginia.
Exactly how much snow falls, as well as the extent of accumulating snow in some areas, will depend on the track and strength of a slow-moving storm that will develop over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico on Saturday and move steadily northeastward from Sunday to Monday.
