Synopsis:
A storm will develop off the Carolina coast and move out to sea today. The clouds and sun will battle it out but the sun will win out as the day continues. It’ll be come breezy as a cold front sweeps through and the storm intensifies well out to sea.
Cold high pressure will influence our area on Friday. It’ll be bright with a nip in the air.
A storm will develop along the Gulf coast on Saturday. Morning sun will give way to increasing clouds. Light snow or rain will possibly develop later in the day. The I-95 corridor looks to be the rain/snow line between for the beginning of this event.
The potential is there for an accumulating snow for inland and Northwestern regions Saturday night into Sunday. It has been a couple of years since much of our region has had significant snow.
As of this writing it looks like there will be only marginally cold air to work with as the low moves up and along our coast. Ocean water temperatures are in the upper 40s. This all translates to a difficult chore in keeping snow as the main precipitation type over much of the coast and to the South of the City. Inland, the potential for several inches of snow exists. The first guess snow map, a generalization of what may transpire is above. This map will get updated several more times until the event nears Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
