There is no doubt we have been totally spoiled by our mild temperatures lately. While there is a big shot of cold air that will be in place late Sunday night through Monday, the ground should be warm enough to limit accumulations on road surfaces. Be that as it may, it doesn't take much to make for dangerously slick roads on our mountain.
This will be another Northwest flow event, that looks to drop 2 to 4" along the Tennessee border near us. As you go up towards Roan Mountain and northeast of they are, they may see as much as 6 to possibly 8" of snow. The odd thing is, my favored models don't show much of that snow getting down to central Haywood County, with ACA in the dusting to 1" category.
As I am writing this about 6:30 p.m Saturday., there are no winter weather advisories, watches, or warnings for Western North Carolina… yet. The switch over to snow showers should take place approximate to midnight Sunday night and last through a good bit of Monday. Temperatures will definitely be much colder, in the 30s, and if the snow overrides the warm ground, the roads may well be slick early Monday morning. I will post an update sometime Sunday when I see more specific information.
