ACA is now under a Winter Weather Advisory for locations above 3500' from 7pm tonight through noon Friday. For those up here, you've felt the temperature drop this afternoon (34 as I type near 3:45pm), with whippy winds that have brought down numerous dead limbs on our roads. In addition, a Wind Advisory is in place through 6pm Friday, with these gusty winds continuing.
My favored models still hold a dusting-1", but the National Weather Service sees something more in the 1"-2" category. Probably closer to the TN border, but if the upslope snow showers come SE directly inline with I-40, we could see close to that. Heavier snow could cover our roads, at least in part, but if these winds stay up, it will also keep it from accumulating in spots. Highs Friday are expected to stay in the 30s.
All that to say we may well have some slick roads on at least the upper half of Apple Creek Road overnight into Friday morning. For our new residents, that magical 3500' line is the Moskos family's blue roof house on AC Road at Dawen Circle. Often you'll see big changes above and below that location.
The weekend has a warm-up in store with solid rain chances Sunday and Monday. In the previous post today, I mentioned 'snow' afoot in the long-term forecast around January 5-6 late next week. More on that as the time approaches.
