First Accumulating Snowfall of Season Possible For High Elevations of WNC

And so it begins! The first winter threat of the season will be possible early Tuesday morning above 4500’ in WNC. A strong front will move through and temperatures will plummet into the upper 20’s even in the valleys around Asheville. This will be our first hard freeze of the season, and should effectively halt anything growing that needs temps to stay above freezing. Below you can see the most recent NAM 3km model and where it shows the accumulation of snow early Tuesday morning.

How Cold Will It Get Around WNC?

After the front moves through Monday afternoon, temperatures will plummet. Many locations by early Thursday morning could be as low as 25 degrees! Below you can see the most recent NAM 3km and what it shows regarding low temperatures for your area on Tuesday AM. This will certainly be a shock to the system! Its time to pull out that heavy jacket and get prepared! This will also accelerate the leaf change around WNC. Peak week will likely be this week for most locations.
