We awoke this morning to find flurries occurring. It is 0745 and the air
temp is 28 and it continues to flurrie.
... SNOW ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG HAS CONTINUED THE
SNOW ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING.
ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL REACH 1 TO 2 INCHES ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
TENNESSEE BORDER... AND AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS... BY THE TIME THE SNOW
BEGINS TO TAPER OFF THIS AFTERNOON. LOWER VALLEY LOCATIONS FROM NORTHERN
BUNCOMBE COUNTY TO WAYNESVILLE WILL LIKELY SEE UP TO AN INCH OF
ACCUMULATION. WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO THE FREEZING MARK THIS MORNING...
MANY ROADS THROUGHOUT THE REGION WILL BE BECOME VERY SLIPPERY.
A SNOW ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE PRIMARILY TRAVEL
DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...
AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING. ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION IF
YOU MUST TRAVEL.
In addition, winds are supposed to kick up.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG HAS ISSUED A FREEZE
WARNING... WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 AM EDT MONDAY. A
WIND ADVISORY ALSO CONTINUES IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EDT TODAY FOR THE NORTH
CAROLINA MOUNTAINS.
A DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL PRODUCE VERY WINDY
NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THROUGH NOON. WINDS OF 25 TO
35 MPH... WITH SOME GUSTS TO 45 MPH AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS... ARE EXPECTED
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. WINDS MAY DIMINISH SLIGHTLY... TO 20 TO 30 MPH...
DURING THE AFTERNOON. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL THEN CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WINDS OF 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG
CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT... ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE
EXTRA CAUTION.
TEMPERATURES ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW THE FREEZING MARK ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE FROM THE 20S AT THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS TO THE LOWER 30S IN THE LOWER MOUNTAIN VALLEYS BY EARLY MONDAY
MORNING.
A FREEZE WARNING MEANS SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE IMMINENT OR HIGHLY
LIKELY. THESE CONDITIONS WILL KILL CROPS AND OTHER SENSITIVE VEGETATION.
CONTINUE TO PROTECT TENDER VEGETATION FROM THE COLD.
This will also increase fire danger in the woodlands of western NC. We are
behind in our moisture by over 5+ inches.
God Bless!
