Much cooler...

Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.
It has been fascinating to watch this powerhouse upper air low develop and impact the Southeast. Underneath the upper low, snow has been falling from north Mississippi and Alabama up into Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kentucky.
For our region, it has been soaking rains through the night, but that band of rain has continued a steady march eastward as we have arrived into this morning.
The upper air low will track up through eastern Tennessee and then continue northward from there. As a piece of energy pinwheels around the south side of the big upper air low, another round of precip will develop into the region this afternoon. Up in the mountains, almost all of this precip later today and tonight will be snow, and a few inches are possible in many mountain spots.
For the foothills and piedmont, look for rain showers that could mix with or kick over to snow showers at times, but any snow will not be significant once outside of the higher elevations.
Look for lots of sun tomorrow into the weekend with most highs in the 50s and lower in the 30s.
Our next front look to move in later Sunday or Monday, and a pretty good shot of cold air could follow that one around the middle of next week.

In your opinion, when are we thinking our first good shot of snow will be(towards Cleveland co here)? Also, do you believe we'll have a few good runs at wintery precip this season? I know it's early, but the snow bird in me is curious! :)
Thanks for all you do!!!
Many blessings,
Vicki
Hi Vicki..... A specific date is really impossible, but there are some indications that the overall indices might be lining up to give some chances by mid-December.
I think many sites around the region will meet or exceed their seasonal snowfall averages by the time Winter is up.
