Wednesday: Snow for the South!

It may not be snowing much in our neck of the woods, but the south will see some snowfall Tomorrow. Granted it will not be signifigant but for down there a few inches is a big deal. 

So lets take a look...

A low pressures system approaches from the west tomorrow afternoon allowing snow to breakout across North Carolina...

The snow really kicks in by Tomorrow night. This snow is the result of warm air overrunning a cold high to the north. That cold high will make hit cold and dry over our region.

Here is projected snowfall amounts from the European model. I think this makes sense...

As you can see a few inches.

Looking to the long range, not much will change. There will likely be a decent shot of cold air next week to make it feel like winter again but it should not be too sustainable. We will have to watch if a storm can spin up when the cold air is over our region. Its possible, but again I am not hopeful.

Here is that projected pattern....

You can see we actually do have higher pressures over the Pacific Northwest allowing cold air to pool in the central US. The question becomes can we push this a little more east and undercut the high pressure to the north. If we can there is a chance it can snow.

At this time I say the best shot for snow is the heartland with this pattern with a cold shot to follow for our area. I will keep an eye on this.
