May-like weather is coming this week, the 70s and even some 80s are next up. A long-lasting warm-up with late April/May-like temperatures expected starting Wednesday through early next week at least, temperatures will be in the upper 60s and 70s for most areas, with some areas into the low 80s at times. Along the coast (thanks to cooler water temps) and in the mountains, it will be more so in the 60s, but everyone else should see an extended period of sunshine and well-above-

🌧️ Thursday: Let's talk about the forecast for Thursday. A low-pressure system will move in across the state. Models are pretty aggressive with the rain, showing some heavy at times, which is definitely possible, especially for Central and Western NC, but I am taking it more with a grain of salt. The potential is there for some areas to see an inch or more, especially Central and Western NC, with lower amounts further east. I can't rule out an isolated embedded thunderstorm

Let's talk about the Weather Headlines for the rest of the week! Wednesday, we will see an increase in clouds, but a SW wind will warm temps into the 50s for most areas, with some spots in the low 60s. It should be a nice day. Thursday/Friday: Rain chances increase across the state throughout the day becomimg more widespread into Thursday night and Friday, generally up to an inch in spots. Rain is possible Thursday into Friday; it won't rain the whole time, but scattered to n

Saturday: We will see warmer temperatures in the 50s and 60s, with increasing clouds across most areas. Saturday night & Sunday: Our next system moves in. We will see a strengthening low-pressure system across the state, bringing widespread rain Saturday night and on and off Sunday

Winter Weather Update: Hey all, we're still on track for another round of Winter Weather tonight. It should be a minor event, but I can't rule out some slick travel tonight after sunset through about 10/11AM Thursday in spots, especially across Central and Eastern North Carolina. A low-pressure system with a cold front is moving through the state, bringing mostly plain cold scattered rain right now that'll continue on and off for the rest of the day. However, as some cold air

Headlines This Week, Potentially some more winter weather midweek? Hey everyone, I've seen the messages, the rumors, and the apps. Yes, there is potential for another round of light snow/sleet mid-week in parts of the state. This won't be a winter storm, and nothing like the last event, but the potential (high uncertainty) is there for at least some more snow for parts of the state. I'll explain more below. At this point, if you don't laugh, you cry right. Tonight-Tuesday: Lo

❄️ Winter Storm/Snowstorm Update: Hey everyone, our second Winter Storm in a week is knocking on the doorstep. Accumulating snow is likely across most of the state, with some spots seeing higher amounts of snowfall. I've been looking through the data, and it looks like everyone is still on track to get at least some snow! There will be winners and losers with this snowstorm (well depends on whether you like or hate snow). Uncertainty about how much snow remains is going to fa

❄️ Winter Storm Update: Good afternoon, everyone. It seems the hype and excitement are flying around about this Winter Storm that is coming to North Carolina! There remains the dreaded a considerable amount of uncertainty with how much snow is going to fall across the state, this will not be an even storm there will be folks who get a boom (more snow then expcted) and a bust where there is less snow than expected and nailing down that right now is like throwing a dart into a

Winter Storm Update: Hey everyone, I guess we're gonna really do this again. It is pretty wild to be honest, not very common in NC for back to back winter storms. I've been in denial all week, but models continue to suggest the potential is there for another round of Winter Weather, mainly in the form of snow, which is even rarer. I'll say as of this morning, the odds of at least some accumulating snowfall are increasing across the state, still not a 100% lock because, well i

Winter Storm this weekend, or nah? Good afternoon everyone, it is like Groundhog Day all over again lol. I'll address the elephant in the room. Yes, we have the potential of yet another winter storm this weekend across parts of North Carolina, but no it is not a slam dunk (or complete lock), we're days away and still have several pieces to come together. It is hard to get snow in North Carolina; we all know this. This type of setup allows for very aggressive models, followed

Saturday Morning Winter Storm/Ice Storm Update: Good morning, all. Our forecast remains mostly on track. A significant to potentially major Winter Storm/Ice Storm is expected to begin later today into tonight across the state. After looking through the data this morning, I have not changed the forecast much at all. The main change is that I adjusted the arrival of the precipitation just a tad, and moved some of the higher ice accrual just a tad north and west. -Condtions will

WINTER STORM/ICE STORM UPDATE 11AM FRIDAY: Good morning, everyone. Our Winter Storm/Ice Storm is knocking on the door. Confidence continues to increase that a significant Winter Storm/Ice Storm is expected across a good portion of the state Saturday evening/night into Monday morning. I’ve been looking at data all morning. To be honest, I was hoping to wake up to better news regarding the freezing rain threat, but the models have not backed off. If anything, the signal for a..

WINTER STORM UPDATE: Good evening everyone, I've seen enough confidence in the models today and given the system is moving in soon, to release my First Call Freezing Rain, and Snow/Sleet Accumulation maps. I've been looking through the data all day, and I was really hoping for better news regarding the Freezing Rain threat, but models just have not backed off, and looking at some historical data. I really think the potential for a significant to major ice storm is increasing

Winter Storm Update: Good Thursday Morning, here's my latest thinking on the incoming Winter Storm across most of the state. Confidence continues to increase, which will see a significant winter storm that will bring high impacts to a good portion of Central and Western North Carolina, leading to hazardous travel and the potential of power outages where the heaviest ice accrual occurs. Very Cold Weather from gusty winds Monday night into Tuesday could occur, potentially resul

Winter Storm Update: Happy Wednesday everyone, it is around lunchtime as I write this update. There are still more questions than answers right now, but there is some clarity from the last 12 hours. It is still looking increasingly clear that a significant Winter Storm will impact a large portion of North Carolina this weekend. You know how I said models were weirdly alined the last few days and something might crack, well shocker they trended northward. Absolutely no surpris

Winter Storm Update: Good late morning, everyone. I know there are more questions than answers right now! It is becoming increasingly clear that a significant Winter Storm will impact a large portion of North Carolina this weekend. The threat of accumulating snow and ice seems to be growing; the models remain weirdly confident that at least a significant Winter Storm will impact the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states. I do not think this will be an all-snow event for most; the

Winter Weather Forecasting: Hey everyone, here are some evening thoughts! We're at least 5-6 days out from any potential winter weather, and if you've been around long enough in North Carolina, you know how much can change over the next few days. I've seen some insane forecasts today. I am not saying they won't happen; over my decade of weather forecasting, I know things will change. I mean, come on, sometimes we can barely figure out 5 hours out 😂. With that being said, we'

WINTER WEATHER RAIN/SNOW UPDATE: Good late afternoon, I know there are still a lot of questions about the potential of snow/rain on Sunday. Upon reviewing the latest data, I still have no reason to think this will be a big event, and most areas will just see a cold rain, a pathetic event for snow lovers. Hopefully, you guys get one this year. We still have a couple of weeks left of winter. 📌WHAT: We will have a cold front approaching the state on Sunday along with an upper-

WINTER WEATHER UPDATE FOR SUNDAY: Hey everyone, I know everyone is very interested in the forecast for Sunday here's my latest thoughts on the situation. The forecast is the dreaded word, complicated and highly complex. I'll try to walk you through everything now, hopefully this gives you a better idea of the thinking. There is the potential of snow and rain on Sunday across the state, but who sees what snow, rain, and or nothing is all over the place. -It'll be very cold tod

Let it snow: Here comes more snow for some across parts of the higher elevations of the mountains, accumulating snow is likely Wednesday night into Thursday, especially above 3,000FT. The odds of seeing some accumulating snow look to be quite high for areas above 3,000 Feet. With wind gusts ranging from 35-45mph, blowing snow will be possible in the higher elevations along the TN border. A strong cold front will pass through the state Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing c
