Sunday Evening...

It was indeed windy today here in the Piedmont, but it was even more so up in the mountains. It looks like the summit of Grandfather Mountain recorded a peak gust of 95mph!

I have also enjoyed looking at the High Country Webcams this afternoon and seeing the snow fall.

Cold the next few nights and only in the 40s for highs again tomorrow. I will think a few backyards might hit the upper teens Tuesday morning.

I also note the 12z European model is a little farther south and colder with our Thursday-Friday storm system....it actually indicates some ice potential in North Carolina taken at face value. The details with this system will not be clear for a couple of days. The ice is probably a long-shot, but we will keep watching.
