Wintry Mix Likely For WNC Saturday Morning, Then Again Saturday PM-Sunday AM

A stout low pressure will bring precipitation to the mountains of WNC by way of a couple of rounds this weekend. Initially we will see a tongue of precipitation develop tomorrow morning that could bring a chance of snow showers to many. Then some clearing will occur and the main ice threat will move in Saturday afternoon/evening before icy conditions move in. Below you can see the depiction of the most recent NAM 3km. There are several details still to resolve with this solution, and a couple of degrees could change the entire perception of this storm. I’ll do my best below to detail out what to expect and what will be possible at your location.

Will Snow Be Possible?

Yes, several locations will begin as snow at the onset, especially in the higher elevations of WNC above 3000’. As you move East, the chances for snow showers will increase, due to proximity to the high pressure that is providing the cold air at the surface. Above 3500’ I think 1”-3” of snow could be possible before ice becomes the prevalent form of precipitation. Below that, snowflakes will certainly have the chance to mix in or fall for 15-30 minutes, but it appears that sleet, rain, or freezing rain will follow. Check out the ice accretion map produced by the NAM. This should be taken with a grain of salt, but it gives you an idea of where models are showing Ice accumulation.

Northwest Flow Snow Likely Monday

Models continue to indicate that as the low pressure moves up the Atlantic Coast, it will strengthen significantly. As this occurs, backside moisture will enhance as it flows through WNC on Monday. Some convective snow showers could be possible from this, and 3”-6” of accumulation will certainly be possible above 3500’. For elevations below that, these convection showers make accumulation difficult to nail down, but an isolated 1”-3” will be possible in locations like Haywood Co, who typically do well in NWF snow events. For Buncombe, I do believe these showers will break containment, and most will see snow fall during the day on Monday. Sun angle will make accumulation during the day difficult, but if the flow can persist through the afternoon hours and into sundown.. we will likely see accumulation even in valley locations. Check out the snowfall map below produced by the most recent NAM. I will need more information on this flow to make further determinations, but just know that a high end Northwest flow event will be possible on Monday. Check back soon for more information!

Snow Showers Likely Across WNC Wednesday Night & Into Thursday, Accumulation Possible For Many

Another chance for snow showers will follow a brief rain event on Wednesday. Models indicate that as a low pressure transfers from the Appalachian to the Coast, some form of snow banding could occur as the sun is setting Wednesday. This would be a rain changing to snow type event with northwest flow following, so I am not expecting significant accumulation in the valleys of WNC below 2500’, but an isolated dusting to 1” could be possible. Above 2500’, northwest flow could bring another 1”-3” of snowfall as the day progresses Thursday. Even higher totals of 2”-4” could be found above 5000’. Below you can see the progression of the most recent NAM 3km.

Backside Northwest Flow

Northwest flow will follow the deformation feature that will develop as the front exits. Winds will pick up for the Northwest and backside moisture will strain out along the NC/TN border. Some models indicate that these snow showers will push into the valley locations below 2500’, North of I-40. Another dusting could be possible in populous valley locations of WNC as you wake up Thursday morning, and those who live above 3000’ will certainly wake up to snowfall. Here is the most recent HRRR model precipitation depiction below showing first the initial push of moisture, then the following Northwest flow punch.

Canadian Short Range Model Snowfall

Below is another short range model that I like to observe. As you can see it shows accumulation of around 1” for the Asheville airport through the whole event. This is not out of the question. Also notice how portions of ENC get in on the snowfall action as this low pressure ramps up off the coast and a deformation feature develops.

Another Round Of Snow Showers Likely Around WNC This Evening

One more round of snow showers will be likely before the weekend comes to a close, and that chance will enter WNC later this evening. Another piece of energy will run the trough that has already been laid down, and that energy will collide with WNC. A convective nature to these snow showers will be possible, just like yesterday.. and some isolated locations could receive a dusting +. Check out the most recent HRRR run below.

Accumulation?

Locations above 3000’ will likely see another 1”-3” with locations above 4500’ seeing even slightly higher totals. Below 3000’ accumulation will be isolated, but if banding sets up correctly some valley locations below 3000’ could see as much as an inch or two of accumulation. This snow will fall in the evening/night time hours so accumulation will be much more likely compared to yesterdays event. Below you can see where the HRRR model believes accumulation is most likely to occur.

Other Short Range Model Data

Next let’s look at the most recent 3km NAM model. Notice how it is not nearly as bullish on the snow showers developing like the HRRR. It will be interesting to see the next couple of HRRR runs to see if it sticks with this more aggressive solution. It does appear likely though that some valley locations will see snowfall tonight.

Conclusion

Locations above 4500’ will likely see 3”-6” from this flow. If you live between 3000’ & 4500’ in WNC then you can expect 1”-3” of accumulation. Below that is the real wild card where a forecast can easily bust. If banding sets up correctly someone below 3000’ could easily see 2”-3” of snowfall. Right now, the best chance for that to occur appears to be somewhere over SW WNC. Locations like Bryson City, Cherokee, Franklin, Sylva, or Murphy could be the low elevation winners with this energy, just like yesterday. Make sure and post your reports to The AshevilleWX Weather Community on Facebook! Check back soon for more updates!

Northwest Flow To Bring Snow Showers To Many In WNC Friday PM/Saturday AM

A couple of chances for snow showers will be possible across WNC as the day progresses through Friday and we move into Saturday. A surface low will bring moisture to the area later this evening where rain will likely be changing to snowfall. This could coat many high elevation locations above 3500’, and snow showers will even be possible North of I-40 in valley locations. Below you can see the progression of the most recent short range NAM.

How Much Snowfall Is Possible?

For lower elevation locations below 2500’ I wouldn’t expect much of any accumulation, possibly a dusting. For locations between 2500’-3500’ isolated locations could see up to 1” of snow. Above 3500’ though 2”-4” will easily be picked up, especially in favored locations along the NC/TN border. Check out the snowfall map below that the most recent NAM 3km produced.

Limited Precipitation Likely Over Next 6 Days

after this frontal passage moves through, it will be cold around WNC. In fact, many locations will not get out of the low 40’s all weekend. But warmer air is on the way, and we will finally dry out to a tad around WNC. Below you can see the temperature spread from the most recent European model. This shows you the likely projected high and low temperatures through the next 10 days. Notice also how the Euro indicates another frontal passage late next week. That will become my next topic of interest as the GFS has a wintery solution. Lots of details to be hammered out, but ill have all the latest information for you as it becomes available!

Scattered Snow Showers Possible Today & Into Tomorrow Around WNC

A weak front will move through WNC tomorrow during the day will very cold temperatures in place. High elevation locations will certainly see snowfall throughout the day, and even some elevations below 2500’ could even get on the snowfall action. Models are spilt on this solution, so there is some uncertainty as to whether moisture will actually hit the ground. Below you can see my projected snowfall map.

Weak disturbances like these can cause havoc with forecasts. Overrunning precipitation struggles to show up on models and therefore some surprises can be possible. Below you can see the most recent NAM and how it brings precipitation later today. Will this come to fruition? I am not certain, but what does look likely is precipitation. Sounds are razor close to being snow, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see snowfall in many locations around WNC.

Other Model Data

The European is also showing a brief period for snow showers today and into this afternoon. Now whether this accumulates or not is still up in the air, but I believe an isolated dusting to 1 inch will be possible as this moisture moves through.

HRRR Model Also Shows Snow Today For WNC

Though scattered in nature, the HRRR model shows snowfall all across WNC today. Some valley locations could change to rainfall per this model, but there is a good chance that during heavy precipitation you will switch to snow. Watch the HRRR progression.

Light Snow Showers Possible Around WNC Monday & Into Tuesday

Short range models are showing the chance for snow showers again throughout portions of WNC late Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Moisture does appear to be rather light, but nonetheless this is something I have my eye on as we progress through next week. Below you can see the depiction from the most recent NAM model. Temperatures are expected to be very borderline for locations below 3000’, but a rain or rain to snow mix will be possible as dry air works out of the atmosphere.

Accumulation?

After this last event, I am hesitant to even talk about accumulation. Even when models show significant totals, it does not come to fruition. At the last moment, a short range model will detect an anomaly and then the picture will become clear. For this event though, I am not thinking big accumulation will be possible. Depending on temperatures, some isolated locations could see a dusting to 1”, but more information will be needed to make that call. Below check out the snowfall map from the NAM. It is very close to a snow sounding for the Asheville area late Monday night.

Long Range Models

The most recent European model has also shown this chance for light snow showers across WNC on its most recent run.. Accumulation is not really showing up, but it brings snow showers into the tip of WNC during the morning hours on Monday. Then it spreads to the rest of WNC by noon. Temperatures will be marginal, and accumulation will not be likely during hours when the sun is shining, but this does appear to be another shot at snow showers for the area. Check out the European model progression below.

GFS Model Data

Now compare the above with the most recent GFS data. The GFS is much drier, and therefor there is very limited precipitation that shows up. The GFS did better then any other model on this past storm so that must be taken into consideration!

Atmospheric Data

The column over Asheville when precipitation moves in on Monday will be conducive to what to wetbulbing. This is when the temperature at the surface is above freezing, but dry air aloft allows cooling to occur and keeps frozen hydrometers from melting as they fall. Eventually this dry air becomes saturated when enough precipitation falls through it, but until that happens snowfall can occur at the surface, even when temperatures are above 32 degrees. Check out the sounding below from the most recent NAM 3km as precipitation moves into Asheville. There is a chance that the precipitation that falls will be in the form of snow. If that happens to fall during dark hors, then the chance for accumulation will greatly increase.

Upcoming Pattern

A cooler pattern is on tap for WNC as we progress towards next weekend, and disappointed snow lovers will have at least a couple more chances to see snowfall this year around WNC. I have my eye on the time frame of Jan 19th-21st for another storm to move through the area. This will follow the cold front I have pulled for the GFS Ensemble. Check back for more details as we progress towards the next pattern change!

Powerful Winter Storm To Affect WNC Thursday Night-Friday, Projected Snowfall Totals On The Rise

Snowfall Totals On The Rise As Winter Storm Approaches WNC

Currently located over Texas, the surface low we have been following is continuing to slowly move toward WNC. Around 7-9pm tomorrow night, a few snow showers could be possible. As the night progresses and we get into the early hours of Friday morning, the snowfall will really pick up. Heavy banding will likely occur as the Upper Level Low goes negative tilt and the surface low strengthens. Thundersnow could even be possible. How long the snowfall lasts is still somewhat up in the air, but below is a map Evan & I have produced based off our most recent thoughts.

Model Data

Models continue to refine this solution, but it could become a nowcast event where totals change up until the event. The European model has been rock solid with its snowfall totals over the past 4 days and has yet to waver. It has a widespread 6”-10” for most in WNC. This could end up being one of the better snowstorms for many in WNC. Unfortunately there will be locations that do not do so well in the SW tip of WNC. Yes, I know these areas are typically left out, but they could still see some snowfall! Below is the progression of the storm from the most recent NAM 3km.

Model Snowfall Maps

Once again, these maps should be taken with a grain of salt… the maps that Evan and I produce compile all of this data as well they take into account our years of forecasting experience. I show you these to show you the spread among models. Typically this close to an event there would be a general consensus of where the heaviest snow will fall, but that has yet to happen. Lets start with the European model.

Here is one last map from the NAM 3km that show how isolated heavy snowfall totals could be. This is a very difficult forecast and some adjustment will still need to made to this forecast as we progress. Check back soon for another update.

Winter Storm To Bring Accumulating Snowfall To WNC Late Thursday & Into Friday

A strong Upper Level Low will capture a surface low that meanders along the Gulf and transfers to the Atlantic early Friday morning. High end dynamics will create an environment conducive to snowfall across all of WNC as this occurs, and some decent snowfall accumulation could occur. Below you can see my most recent snowfall projection map that Evan Fisher has put together.

Model Data

Short range models are beginning to get a handle on this solution, but there are still several details to be hammered out. Currently models are very spread regarding snowfall totals, so some adjustments may need to be made in the coming day to my forecast map. Below you can see the storm progression on the most NAM 12km.

European Model Projections

The Euro has a similar look to the Nam model, but with slightly weaker dynamics. Thus there is slightly less precipitation. Locations around Brevard and Hendersonville though have consistently been the Jackpot for snowfall among models. I wouldn’t be surprised to see 6”+ in many locations around Transylvania Co. Below you can see the precipitation depiction from the most recent European model.

Timing

The timing of snowfall for this event is still somewhat up in the air, but it does appear to arrive at a prime time to accumulation. Locations around Franklin, NC and in the SW tip of NC will begin to see snowfall around 6-7pm and then snowfall will move West. Around Asheville look for snowfall to begin around 9-10pm Thursday night, and it should snow throughout the night.

Live Update Tomorrow At 7pm

3 Chances For Snow Showers Over The Next 10 Days For WNC

Beginning tomorrow, rain will turn to snow showers in the higher elevations as a weak piece of energy moves over the mountains. Some locations above 3500’ even saw a dusting of snow last night! Then we will move on to talking about the possibility of back to back Gulf Lows. First let’s start with the Tuesday and into Wednesday event.

Shortwave Brings Accumulating Snowfall To Elevations above 3000’

A weak frontal passage will run the trough laid down by a cold front that exits WNC tomorrow. Scattered rain showers will be likely around valley locations, but above 3000’ a couple of inches of snowfall could be possible. Below you can see the most recent NAM 3km.

Snowfall accumulation will be likely above 3000’ in WNC, with some high elevation locations seeing several inches. Check out the most recent NAM 3km snowfall map. It does have a small dusting even down to locations like Weaverville late Tuesday night, so watch for that as it could be possible!

Event #2 Gulf Low & Upper Level Low Thursday-Friday

The second event I am focusing on could very well be the main event with this pattern change. Most all global models indicate that a stout Upper Level Low will interact with a weak surface low that meanders from the Gulf to the Atlantic. Some models have been speeding up this solution over the past 24 hours, and that would indicate the storm would be coming in during the night time hours compared to peak daytime. This will affect accumulation totals. Over the next 48 hours I will do my best to detect when the Upper Level Low will arrive, and how that will correlate to snowfall in your backyard. Below you can see the most recent progression with this system on the European model.

Snowfall Maps

I like to give you an idea of what each model is depicting snowfall map-wise so below I will detail out what each model shows currently. Note that these will certainly change as we progress towards the event. This is just some of the data I am pouring over to give you the best possible forecast. First lets show you what the European model shows.

Euro Snowfall Map Courtesy Of Pivotalweather.com

GFS American Model

The GFS has a similar setup with a bit more cold air to work with. Therefore we will see high snowfall totals with its projection from the 6z run compared to the Euro above. The amount of interaction that occurs with the surface low and the Upper Level Low will determine how much precipitation falls in WNC. The dynamics will be there for a decent snowstorm, temperatures will be very borderline though so I am watching closely. Here is what the GFS depicts to occur.

Event #3 Trailing Gulf Low

Below you can see the third event I have my eye on. The evolution of this event is still very much in question, but what is concerning to me is that we have another Gulf Low showing some type of interaction with an Upper Level Low. It appears that a pattern is becoming established for the foreseeable future and there will be several shots for accumulating snowfall for WNC through the end of January. Check back for more updates, and check Facebook I will begin doing live updates for these events over the next couple of nights.

Gulf Low To Bring Snow Chances To WNC Friday & Into Saturday

While details remain somewhat variable in the long range, a Gulf Low does appear to bring the chances for snowfall to many again around WNC on Friday and into Saturday. 5 days out there is still a great deal of uncertainty, but I feel confident enough to alert you of the potential threat that could be imposing upon WNC as we end the upcoming work week. All major global models show a weak surface low meandering from the Gulf and transferring to the Atlantic on Friday during the day. The wildcard will be when the Upper Level Low catches up to the surface low. When that occurs, moisture will be thrown to the backside, and snowfall will ensue over locations where that moisture is transported too. Below take a look at the storm progression from the most recent GFS model run.

Model Comparison

Alright, so I noted above that most all global long range models were showing this snowfall and I will detail them out below. First off lets show you the European model. Both the GFS and European model have been showing this system with some degree of difference over the past 3 days. Backside snowfall has been more prevalent on the GFS, whereas the Euro has shown more front end moisture. Check out the euro below.

Canadian Model

My third model of choice in my long range progression would indeed be the Canadian model. Often cooler than the other models, this model does a great job of identifying northwest flow threats before others. As you can see, just like the others, the Canadian shows a low pressure sweeping down and interacting with the Gulf, the progressing towards the Southeast. As that occurs, it is turned up the coast and captured by and upper level low. This cold air aloft along with excessive dynamics will be a powerful combo and will likely break out snow showers all across WNC.

German ICON Model Progression

Below is another model that I like to use for comparison. This is the German ICON model and you have heard me talk about it from time to time. It along with the Canadian, European, & American models all show some form of accumulating snowfall for most of WNC. Does this actually play out? Well there are a lot of details to still be managed, but this is a good sign for snow lovers.

How Much Accumulation?

These details will not be hammered out for quite sometime, but if you are looking for a timeframe of what to expect, I will likely be releasing a projected accumulation map sometime on Wednesday. Depending on model consistent will depend on how quickly I get that first projection map out.

Who Has The Best Chance To See Accumulation?

Tough call right now, but the obvious answer is locations above 3500’. Valleys around WNC will also see snowfall and depending on the timing, that will determine accumulation threat. Locations along the Blue Ridge Escarpment can receive snowfall from these type events as well and the dynamics will allow locations like Brevard, NC & Hendersonville to get in on the snowfall action. Stay tuned, I will have a lot more information to come regarding this event!
