We're tracking a threat of snow and winter weather in the Carolinas for Thursday and Friday morning: Rain midday Thursday could turn to snow, which is expected to freeze overnight into Friday. Snow accumulations are expected across much of North Carolina.

Plus we're joined by Dr. Lynn McMurdie. She is the lead investigator on the NASA IMPACTS project, an initiative that is chasing storm storms using planes, weather balloons, and remote sensing equipment to better understand winter storm intensity.  Their goal is to collect data and understanding that lead to more accurate winter storm forecasts. 

North Carolina farmers are working to keep their crops healthy amid rising temperatures and more frequent extreme weather. Last year, some growers reported extreme heat and little rain caused them to lose nearly half of their corn crop. 

Multiple weather hazards possible in the Carolinas on Thursday including flooding, damaging wind, hail, and a few tornadoes. A slow moving severe weather system will be moving across the entire region starting late Wednesday and continuing through early Friday. This is an event that will have impacts across both North Carolina and South Carolina, with the strong impacts in in western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.

Scott Powell in Morganton is joined by Evan Fisher in Charleston with the latest on the developing forecast.

A 'flurry' of activity Tuesday night as tiny, little white flakes began dancing on a camera in Folly Beach, South Carolina. Against all odds, was it actually snowing on the beach? Our Evan Fisher went to the beach to find out.
