Good Black Friday everyone. If you are a fan of wild weather… the past few days have been right up your alley. We had some sleet Wednesday… Heavy rains and temps in the 70s Thanksgiving Day and then last night into this morning… sleet and snow. Wow!

Many areas picked up on some snow overnight as the flakes were coming down fast enough to keep the warm ground from doing its dirty work. Check out a few pics I received…

That is some crazy stuff considering temps were in the 60s only hours before those pics were taken. This fast moving band of snow and sleet is surging across the state and will be exiting the area first thing this morning. You can track it on out of town…

It’s good to start out with winter with a decent forecast and we did it from about a week out. We got the heavy rains… the warm temps and the switch to winter. I am enjoying it while I can as there are plenty of blown forecasts out there with my name on them in the winter ahead.

Temps this morning will be at or below freezing in a lot of areas and this means you will need to watch for some slick spots… especially on bridges and overpasses. Highs today are going to stay in the 30s… even with some sunshine.

Current Temps<\/STRONG>


Let’s look ahead now…

– I am watching the smallest little sheared out disturbance early Saturday that can deliver a snow flurry to the north. That doesn’t mean it will, though.

– Highs over the weekend will be upper 30s to low 40s Saturday and well into the 40s Sunday.

– Clouds will increase quickly Monday ahead of our next weather maker. Some rains will increase by evening from southwest to northeast as temps head toward the low 50s.

That system will see another strong low wrap up to our west and lift northward into the western Great Lakes. This will bring another surge of heavy rains in here Monday night and Tuesday as a cold front swings in from the west. Temps behind this front will drop like a rock once again. Sound familiar? The difference with the upcoming setup and the one we just had is there will be more energy coming into the base of the trough and this should lead to a secondary low pressure developing along the front. Exactly when and where this develops will play a big factor in the actual weather we get around here. Odds favor this low developing across the western Carolinas and heading north toward New England.

Several different model runs have been hinting at this. The latest GFS Ensembles run is leaning toward something similar…



The Canadian Model is leaning in that direction too…

Wednesday Morning


Secondary of low or not… some wraparound snow showers and flurries would be a good bet to go along with a nice shot of cold air.

We will update that into the weekend and have more updates as needed.

If you snapped some shots of the snow… shoot me and email and I will put them here on the blog. Also… chime in the comments section and report what happened where you live.  Have a great Friday and take care.
