Looks like the models are all pretty well aligned in this being an inch or less. Any updates from our resident experts? I haven’t seen Metvol weigh in and I’m anxious to see that as he was spot on last year.
If you have a dog or another pet that you keep outside, it's best to move them indoors this weekend. We will be lucky to get into the teens for the high temperature on Friday.
I’m not sure what models you’re using but the ones I see are calling for a dusting. Strangely, the GEM (I have no idea what that means) is calling for something pretty nasty mid to late next week but none of the other models are showing it.VK, Do you expect a Wind Chill watch to be issued?
If models keep trending back we may see a Winter weather advisory issued!

Yeah that’s got an inch or so. I admittedly don’t know much about weather forecasting but I enjoy it, especially this time of year. Are you a meteorologist or is this a hobby?That’s the fun part of model watching. The trends and outliners. The GFS and EURO tend to lose storms or get lost between 60-120 hours and pick them back up. I don’t trust the NAM until the 48 hour range.
I’m not saying we will see a significant storm but we could bust high with this setup.
This run isn’t over yet but as you can tell the 12Z GFS is trending back with this run and with the previous 2.
*If* we see accumulating snow I suspect we could see wind chills in the negative teens.

...WIND CHILL WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills possible. Wind chills as low
as 15 below zero in lower elevations, and as low as 25 below
zero in higher elevations.
* WHERE...Portions of southwest North Carolina, east Tennessee
and southwest Virginia.
* WHEN...From late Thursday night through Saturday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...The cold wind chills could cause frostbite on
exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Wind gusts on Friday are expected to be
between 30 and 50 mph. Winds this strong may result in downed
trees and power lines, which may cause power outages while
temperatures are extremely cold.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Wind Chill Watch means the there is the potential for a
combination of very cold air and strong winds to create
dangerously low wind chill values. These conditions can quickly
result in frost bite...and can lead to hypothermia or death if
precautions are not taken. Monitor the latest forecasts and
warnings for updates on this situation.
If you plan to use alternative sources of heat or electricity in
your home, be careful. Observe all safety precautions to avoid
carbon monoxide poisoning, electrocution, or a fire. Portable
generators should be operated outdoors in a dry and well
ventilated area
