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.
