Winter Weather Advisory for Mountains

Waking up to a few light showers this morning. A Winter Weather Advisory in effect for the mountains until 10pm. Above 3500′ snowfall totals of 2-3″ will be possible, for areas above 4500′ we could see 4″+ of snow. The rest of the region will warm into the low 50s with a few scattered rain showers into the late morning. Clouds will clear with peeks of afternoon sunshine. Tonight lows will near freezing under mainly clear skies.

Drying out with seasonable highs for Wednesday and Thursday. Sunny for Wednesday, but Thursday will bring more clouds and a few showers late in the day. Snow will be possible for the mountains as temps drop into the overnight hours.

BIG STORY: Snow will be likely across the mountains and foothills Friday morning into the afternoon with a few inches of snowfall possible. South of I-40 is where the models diverge, but as of now, it is looking like we could see a wintry mix as far south as the I-85 corridor by late Friday into Friday night. That means even some wet snowflakes across the Charlotte metro area. For areas south of I-85 this will be a rain event. Things can change with this forecast, so we’ll be watching it very closely over the next few days. Sunny and dry, but cold weather will return this weekend.
