Projected Snowfall Total Map For March 12th
Snowfall To Return Early Saturday AM
Snowfall will begin early tomorrow morning around 4am and persist through the noon. As the front moves through rain will switch to sleet and then snow likely while you are sleeping. Many around WNC could wake up to a quick burst of snowfall that coats everything. Check out the most recent 3km NAM below.
Varying Model Accumulation Projections
Below I will detail out all of the various accumulation maps that I have to work from. You’ll see the GFS, EURO, NAM3km, & HRRR models. I have taken a blend of these to produce my forecast.

High Winds & Bitter Cold To Be Story Into Sunday
Winds will pick up considerably during the day on Saturday as Northwest flow moves through. Some locations could see gusts over 40mph. Then temperatures will plummet into the mid teens around the area early Sunday morning. I expect temps to recover into the low 50’s Sunday afternoon, but winds will still be somewhat gusty. Make sure to cover any sensitive vegetation because this cold has the potential to kill things that have already budded.
