Fast & Flake Furious

A disturbance will bring an opportunity for some fast moving flakes tonight into tomorrow morning. Dusting level accumulations will be the expectation. While we've had our fair share of wind in recent days, the wind tomorrow morning will get your attention.

Forecast Discussion

Fast moving systems this week bring a lot of weather to talk about without too much actual weather. A reinforcing slug of upper level energy follows the frontal passage tonight and early Wednesday. In response, a very strong northwest wind kicks into gear generating flurries and snow showers tomorrow morning. Dusting level stuff is possible for many of us, but higher elevations closest to the TN/NC border could pick up a quick inch. The afternoon is dry with a brief round of sunshine.

Low pressure moving across the Southeast Thursday brings a round of light rain, perhaps beginning as a wintry mix early Thursday morning. Rain ends by the evening.

Friday through Sunday are uneventful and seasonal as high pressure squeezes in from the north. There is another low pressure center that rides to our south Friday, but we think it's far enough away that western NC remains dry.

The next big low coming emanating from the Southwest heads our way Sunday. Clouds increase late Sunday with a wintry mix to rain developing early Monday morning. "Warm" air will overwhelm the region so whatever precipitation type it begins as becomes a chilly rain. Rain continues through the day and ends late Monday night.
