Looks like we will have a very active day the next 24 hours with high winds, severe storms, then a chance of snow tomorrow morning...

The gfs and euro both show some higher elevation snow in the 9-10 day range.

 

 

Yeah I was going to say the euro shows a potential for a large sized system affecting us in about a week... That being said it could be gone today the way the models have been handling things recently. 

An absolutely stellar day today! 

Not sure how big a threat it is but in about 10 days the Euro is showing a strong trough in the east with some type of system maybe.  Looking at the indices I think this has some merrit with the AO and the NAO finally going negative somewhat.  Something to look at and track possible. 

Snow in the higher elevations of Haywood.

Heavy rain last night then some high winds ushered in the cold air. Temp down to 37 degrees.  I love it.

Another frosty morning.  These past few days have been pure gold. Nice cold mornings and warm afternoons.  Looks like we get another cool down in a few days. Maybe, maybe a high elevation flake. I still cannot believe the persistent plus NAO that we have been in...

Another frosty morning.  We have had more frosts in March than in February.

I'm smelling petrichor this morning for the first time in quite a while.  It's been a while since the ground was dry enough for that. 

Yeah this weekend was absolutely beautiful.  Was nice to have a dry weekend for once.

Looks like rain to snow starting tonight into tomorrow morning.  I think this will be an elevation type event for the most part. 

Its coming fellas! Maybe winters last gasp maybe not...

The system around the 19th and the 22nd could be interesting.  Winter is not over yet fellas. 

We may see some snow showers early in the morning on The 16th...

The models have been horrible all winter with temps and precip. Somebody in the Carolinas will score an inch or two next week, easily!

We are expected to get some heavy rainfall here in the SW mountains.  No surprise as we are continuing to run well above normal in precipitation this year alone. We are some 4 to 7 inches above normal already. 

The euro paints a colder picture in about 4 to 5 days. Probably some snow and rain with well below average temps...

Its amazing that at the end of the year we had a huge surplus of precipitation.  So far just in this year we are some 5 to 8 inches above average already.  Just a remarkable full year so far for precipitation across the region. 

Yeah rainy and cold... Cannot catch a break from the rain recently,  at least for an extended period of time.

I welcome more cold weather but with the time change it will be nice to have the sun out longer. The march toward spring is right around the corner. 

Was in Jackson county early this morning and had some impressive thunderstorms roll through. Lots of rain and very windy.

Well we are getting a wintry mix this morning of snow, sleet,  and freezing rain. Good times.

I agree. But... there's another one coming in a little while. If we knew how they were going turn out it would really suck. I hope we never know for sure.

Yeah I agree. We did have that snow in December that was widespread.

Good luck. This has been one of the worst winters in a few years. 

Its amazing how storms are just dumping into the west over and over.

Already down to 18.9 and breezy. Going to be a three dog night for sure. Add in some flurries and it'll feel like it's supposed to. Anyone have any thoughts about Thurs night/Fri morning?

Yeah this is the way its suppose to feel. Im loving it. I think we will see some pretty good snow shower/flurries tonight.  I think you are in a good spot to see some wintery weather Thursday night but it wont last long.

The thing is that the NAO has primarily been positive since November.  We are going on 3 plus months of no real good blocking in the AO and NAO regions. With this the near term holds no blocking either. It will be interesting to see if this type pattern holds through spring.
