Forecast Discussion
Low pressure moves east through the Deep South tonight and early Sunday, signaling the arrival of the much promised winter storm. Flurries are possible this evening before the meat of the storm arrives around midnight. It will begin as flurries and develop into heavier snow early Sunday morning.
Snow continues all day Sunday, becoming heavy at times. In the late morning and early afternoon, sleet may mix in with the snow, cutting into expected snowfall accumulation totals. Snow will taper off late Sunday afternoon or evening with the possibility of flurries into Monday.
Most of the accumulation will be the southern and eastern part of the Southern Appalachians, on the order of 8-12 inches. As per usual, the Asheville area will see less accumulation than the surrounding area. See our Snowfall Accumulation Forecast Map for details.
A high pressure system brings chilly temps and clearing skies throughout the day on Monday. Temps become milder until a cold front moves through on Wednesday with a little rain. The next chance of snow comes on a chilly Friday.
