Coldest Airmass in 2 Years !!

Looks like the coldest airmass in a couple years is headed for the Southeast. It arrives early Monday morning and temperatures will fall through the day in the Western Carolinas and North Georgia. By Tuesday, our temperatures will stay well below freezing in the mountains, with lots of wind-blown snow. Even Asheville and some lower mountain communities will get in on the act.
Meanwhile, I'm forecasting temperatures to be below freezing all day Tuesday in places like Atlanta, Charlotte and Knoxville to Nashville and Greensboro.   Shelby may stay in the 20's for a High Temp...thats cold!

The Cold wave lasts around 3 days, and by the end of the week we begin moderating.  Take precautions now to wrap pipes, winterize your vehicle and prepare for this Shock to the system type of cold. 
High winds and blowing snow in the mountains will make for hazardous and ground blizzard conditions from Monday into Tuesday, so avoid un neccessary travel.  Wind chills there will fall well below zero.
A Bitter Cold first half of the Week....this is the forecast "high" temperatures on Tuesday

    welp, I think were going to be on the warm to nice side with cold waves like the one that just passed. We will get one week around the middle of Feb where the weather get real wintery/icey and then were going to continue to warm right up. Ill take it... I like watching the Snow... but I like warm winters too !!
