BOTTOMLINE
It looks like our nearly four-year-long streak without 1″ of snow in Charlotte will continue. While it wouldn’t shock me if a few wet bursts of snow occur as the rain exits northeast, this looks like a mainly rain event outside of the Foothills and mountains. Even then, dry air can significantly reduce totals in NW NC.
At most, we’re talking about an inch of snow in the mountains, maybe close to that in the Foothills and extreme NW Piedmont if we’re lucky. We’ve been above freezing since Friday morning, so it’ll be hard for anything to stick.
At least the Carolinas will get some rain to help out our drought! We’ll keep you weather-wise through tomorrow.
