Quick Thoughts...
>> Friday, February 16, 2007
Clipper is advancing our way. This will being some healthy snows to the mountains, and then a favorable pattern for upslope snows Sunday. All in all, I think many mountain locations could very well pick up 3-6" through the weekend.
For the Piedmont, look for lots of clouds Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. A few flurries are certainly a possibility, but the appreciable snows will remain up in the mountains.
We will remain in a cold weather pattern through the weekend, but a moderating trend sets in next week with high back in the 50s Tuesday through Friday. It still looks like a system will roll through around Wednesday of next week, bringing us a good shot of rain.
Everyone have a great weekend. I will be back in the evening shift for the Charlotte side of News 14 Carolina through the weekend.

Matthew what up with this winter?.I was sure that when it El Niño season we get more snow then normal winter?? in charlotte .Sure this winter has cold maybe even colder than normal But where is the SNOW ?? 2 inches of snow was nice but i was sure that average snowfall for charlotte is 9inches for the winter not 2inches
Well, you can really throw out much of December and the first half of January because the hemispheric upper air pattern was such that we were locked in a much above average temperature pattern.
The pattern overall was much more favorable from mid-January until now, but we really have had some very bad timing and luck. We were very close to having a couple of good winter storms, but the cards just did not fall our way.
Winter is not over though. While snow is getting less and less likely with time toward the end of February, there is always the chance for a rare March event.
