First Cold Shot To Affect WNC Early Next Week
Models are continuing to show a strong system that will drop in from the Arctic early next week and many around WNC will see lows on Tuesday morning in the upper teens. This will certainly kill off any lingering bugs, but will also be a shock to our systems here in the area! It’s been 8 months since we have experienced temperatures this cold, so be mindful of this as you prepare for early next week. Below I will detail out snowfall chances, and also show the various models and how cold they show WNC.

Northwest Flow Snow Possible Monday Night
A chance for another round of snow showers in high elevation areas(NC/TN Border Above 3500’) will come into play with this system moving through. With these bone chilling cold temperatures, there is a chance that the Northwest flow snow showers could break out of the higher elevations and reach valley locations. For right now I will focus above 3500’, because that is where accumulation will be likely. Early projections appear to show 1”-3” of snowfall possible for higher elevation locations above 3500’. Like I said above, some of these snow showers have the chance to break containment for higher elevations with the very cold temperatures in place. The wind will also aid this. I will continue to watch this. Look for a live update sometime late Sunday.
Cold Returns To WNC

Above you can see the current temperature projection for the next several days from the European Model. Notice how cold the average drops next Tuesday and Wednesday around WNC. This is showing a bitter cold arctic front pushing through. There is good consensus that this front will occur, what remains to be seen is how much moisture is available for Northwest Flow. Check out the GFS below to see the temperatures fluctuation over the next week. The good news is that Thanksgiving Day it appears we recover into the mid 50’s and low 60’s around WNC!
