Thursday Evening Post....

**There are some audio skips and distortions on this edition of the video...not sure why. I apologize.**

This will be my last post for several days. I am heading out of town to visit with family and friends, and I will be back in the saddle here at News 14 Wednesday, January 2. So, I don't anticipate any blog posts until then.

But, some bullet points for ya this evening....

• Rain develops in Friday and lingers into Friday night and Saturday morning
• More rain spreads in Sunday
• BIG plunge of arctic air arrives Tuesday into Wednesday. This will feature the coldest temps so far this season, and I think much of the Piedmont might not make it above freezing Wednesday afternoon, depending on downsloping winds. We should also be well down into the teens Thursday morning with the mountains in the single digits
  
• The mountains should see significant upslope snows out of this next week
• The cold only sticks around for a few days....much milder air returns by the weekend of January 5

Happy New Year, and God bless!

Quick Hit...

My focus today has been on my family with very little time spent on the weather. However, just wanted to put it out there that the system tonight into tomorrow morning has the look of a system that could give some spots a burst of wet snow of sleet for a period somewhere in the Carolinas. This one will all depend on dynamic cooling, in other wods, cooling from aloft, mainly due to heavy precipitation rates.

Interesting to watch. Don't be surprised if you see or here of some folks seeing a bit of snow tonight.

God bless....

Sunday Evening Quick Hit....

Well, looks like it time to finally wave the white flag regarding any snow chances Tuesday into Tuesday night. Now I will say there could be some sort of light rain/sleet or wet snowflake mixture up in parts of the mountains Christmas, but I think sprinkles at best here in the Piedmont.

While the models are all finally indicating the low pressure will develop off of the Carolina coast Christmas, the airmass here in the Piedmont simply looks a bit too warm for anything wintry. So, eastern North Carolina will probably pick up some rain, and like I mentioned, some sprinkles or light rain are possible here in the Piedmont, but it just doesn't look like any flakes.

I am off the next couple of days, so I doubt I will have any new blog material until later in the week. Everyone have a blessed, safe, and merry Christmas.....
