Snow Thursday? Not very much at all

Rumors of snow filling the airwaves, but I am backing down from this threat. The models keep all the good moisture to our north and west, and its hard to argue against that. Also, our temps aloft are going to go into rapid warming mode by Thursday morning, meaning any snow to start is going to be extremely brief all over NC, not just here in Shelby area.  The bottom line is this isn't a good setup for major snow or ice, we don't have high pressure to keep in the cold, and the system doesn't come from a direction to drop much moisture here, however toward the I-40 corridor, there could be some more accumulation before they switch over to plain rain as well. In the end, there's not much moisture with this where we are, just some token flakes or sleet pellets, then drizzle in the middle of the day at best.
Next up, an interesting Saturday and Sunday forecast.  We have a little time to pin that down. I'll focus on that one after this next event is winding down.
