Thursday Soaker, Weekend Snows?

Good Thursday morning everyone and thanks for stopping by the blog on this rainy Thursday. Things look to change in the world of weather and I hate to say this so early when we are yet to be sure whats going to happen but I think it needs said... We'll get to that in a bit ;)

Today rain showers will be hanging around for much of the afternoon especally in the central and eastern part of the state, a peak or two of sun is possible as we hit the evening hours as the rain moves out. Temperatures should top out in the low 50s despite the rain and clouds.

Friday is like the calm before the weekend storm, it looks to be a nice day with high temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s under mostly sunny skies. DON'T be fooled! This nice weather for Friday will not stick around as we have the threat for a WINTER STORM coming in time for Saturday night and thats when things will turn wintry in a hurry.

This system will come out of the gulf of Mexico and have plenty of moisture and lift up our way with cold air in place. Look at the GFS model for more :

That means snow looks to be falling by Saturday night, a quick change over from rain to a wet heavy snow.

Look how heavy that precip is as the system moves out of the Gulf Of Mexico into the Carolinas and on to the northeast.

This is something to seriously keep watch on, as this could lead to significant snowfall totals possibly being more than 3 inches for our area. More updates via Facebook and I hope to have another full update later today. Have a great day and take care :)
