As our storm pulls away, we are left with decent snowfall accumulations across much of the state of NC. Here at my home, I got around 4 inches after some more light snow moved through the CLT region during the early morning hours. Some places, such as Asheville or Arden, saw nearly 10 inches of snow from the event! Nicely done for those areas.
Throughout today, we'll struggle to get into the mid 30s. I expect road conditions to deteriorate as we head into the evening and especially the night hours where temperatures will drop back below freezing and cause a bit of an icy headache for some with the refreezing of roads for the morning commute. If you have to head out...BE CAREFUL!
No future wintry threats are in the offing as we head into next week, where we'll do a bit of a flip with our weather here. We'll go from temperatures in the 30s to 60s at New Year's with some possible rainfall! Amazing how the weather can be in the Carolinas. It will feel really nice the further south you go, where temperatures could get near 70 in areas such as southern GA. I don't expect this warm up to last for a long while though, as long range suggests a knock-back to colder temperatures during the first part of January. Speaking of that, the winter forecasts calling for a mild January could be in danger as the real warm up may end up beginning some time in the middle of January, but even that may need to get pushed if modeling continues to show below average temperatures. We'll see. I'm still sticking with mid-January to early February as the warm-up period (NOT a torch but at least slightly above average temperatures) for now.
Hope everyone got what they wanted, though I'm sure a few of you would love to have seen more. I'm content with my amount so no complaints here. Have a good day everyone! Hope your Christmas went well like mine did.
