Big storm for the US the next 2 days, what does it mean for NC?

A monster of a storm is starting to take shape today on through Thursday. With snow,ice and severe weather for a big chunk of the central and eastern US. But Ill focus on central NC here and give you an idea of whats to come. Fist heres the set up for the massive storm (more like a classic early spring storm)
This is Tomorrows set up from down right Blizzard conditions to spring like severe weather and in the middle a dangerous icy mix with ice amounts possible up to 1''in thats crippling. But here in central NC for today and tomorrow we'll see cool cloudy weather, Although there maybe some light freezing drizzle in parts of north and north west NC tonight into tomorrow morning so watch for that. Now heres a computer model forecast for Wednesday morning showing NC in the warm sector with rain and a few thunderstorms are possible aswell.




That first red line you see just under the blue is the 10c line OR 50F degree line with the 2ed red line the 68F line so you can see warm moist air being pulled up into NC with a few storms possible, Ill keep watch on this as any storm in this set could be severe, but right now not looking for a big severe wx out break in NC. The deep south will endure a severe wx outbreak though. Now what we have going on today and tomorrow is called Cold Air Damming. When the cold air dams up the eastern side of the mountains. As Tuesday night comes are winds will shift out of the south/south west with the warm font approaching. Wednesday should be rain and possible storms in the morning hours followed by warm breezy conditions later in the day.
