Wintry weather exiting state right. Whew....ready for a nap!
Have a great weekend.....
9am Update...
Light wintry mix continues to push through the region. Numerous traffic accidents have been reported in the northwest Piedmont up into the foothills and mountains. Some of the biggest issues look to be some minor glazing on bridges and overpasses around the Triad viewing region.
For the next hour or two, if you do not have to be out on area roadways, it is probably a good idea to stay inside.
This is a very short-duration event, and conditions will rapidly improve by lunchtime.
Active Pattern Ahead...
Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.....give it a look.
Some light precip is working through the region this morning. Light rain will mix with some sleet pellets or snow flakes in some spots, but none of this will be a big deal due to the very light nature of the precipitation.
**Edit to add that the GSP NWS has hoisted a Winter Weather Advisory. A few slick spots are possible on roads, but this is not a huge event.**
Our next system will roll through Sunday and bring some rain chances. Then, the next system, a more significant one, will roll through Tuesday. There remain a ton of question marks with that system, and frankly, the computer models are still all over the place with their handling of it. The European models continues to show an all-rain scenario. However, the GFS has been trending a bit colder with the system the past few runs, and taken verbatim, the 6z GFS shows wintry precip for much of the western Carolinas, at least for a period Tuesday morning.
So, no real changes here on this system. There remains at least some chance of at least a little bit of wintry precip with that system, but how great a chance that is, I just don't know yet. We will see....
