| FROM MY FILES: Barn Swallow by Lake J dam |
(Thursday AM quick note: I will post a full update around 1:00pm or shortly thereafter once I return home. Today's thunderstorm chances have increased...look for a bit of a windy squall-like line to hit this afternoon.)
We are certainly well underway for the latest first snow of the season that I can remember in ACA, but this incoming scenario is not a slam dunk by any means. Just wanted to share the end-of-week weather ahead.
Thursday will be windy and (relatively) mild as southwest winds whip out ahead of a strong cold front. It will bring some rain chances not only in the form of showers but also some isolated thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening.
There will still be some moisture to move through from the W/NW after the temperatures start rapidly falling Thursday night. Light snow may start around 3-4am, with daybreak lows in the upper 20s. Highs Friday will only be in the 30s, so especially for elevations above 3500' snow showers may well continue into Friday night. Any lingering moisture will wrap up well before sunrise Saturday, with lows dropping into the 17-22 degree range.
The NWS will post advisories and such Thursday...models indicate <1" for Waynesville and Lake Junaluska, with 0.5-2" possible above 3500' in ACA. The spine of the Smokies could get 4-6", with amounts tailing off fairly quickly as you move SE of the TN border.
As always, stay tuned...
Bob
