The pattern change I posted about last week has arrived. Get used to the cold air, its here to stay awhile. And should be re-inforced in atleast 2 waves during the upcoming days. A "clipper" system will zip through the Carolinas and Tennessee on Saturday evening, dropping snow in its wake for the mountains and possibly the northern parts of NC (Shelby may get sprinkles or flurries--usually we get skipped with clippers though), and then cold air comes really rushing back in. A giant vortex in Maine will stay put for several days, sending lobes of Canadian air deep into the South. Monday and Tuesday may be hard pressed to reach 40 degrees in most of Cleveland County, and our morning lows will go from 20's on a few mornings to some teens most likely by Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Head to the mountains if you're in the mood for some snow. The period from late Saturday until about next Wednesday and Thursday will feature off and on snowshowers, that will add up on the northwest facing slopes to around 12" or more by the end of it. You'll be able to see these snow covered Apps nicely from a drive along highway 74- just peer west and northwest through the week.
Later in the week a warm up, but probably not much, and that most likely won't last. Already there's signs of another cold outbreak, and we will have to watch a front coming in as well, to see what happens when moisture bumps into our cold air.
If a Winter storm threat arises, check back to see if the rumors are true.
