Cold Arctic Air and the Season’s First Snow Could Reach Western North Carolina Next Weekend as a Strong Front Brings Wind, Slick Roads, and Power Outage Risks

WINSTON-SALEM, NC — Patchy frost could form early Monday morning, but forecasters say the bigger change may arrive next weekend, when the coldest air of the fall season is expected to surge into the region. WXII says a sudden stratospheric warming event has temporarily disrupted the Polar Vortex, opening the door for Arctic air to spill south.

‘Coldest air' of the season headed to the Triangle. When to expect first freeze

Central North Carolina could see frost and the area’s first freeze of the season this week. Temperatures dipped in the 30s and 40s early Monday, Nov. 9, and parts of the Triangle could see frost Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. “Some frost is possible tomorrow morning,” said Nick Petro, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Raleigh office. “Keep that in mind if you have concerns about that.” Frost is the formation of ice crystals on leaves and plants (or your car windshield), and can happen even if the temperatures don’t get below freezing. Think of it as the dew freezing from the colder temperatures. A frost advisory was issued for 1-8 a.m. Tuesday for all of central North Carolina, with temperatures expected in the “mid to upper 30s.” “Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold, as frost could harm or kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered,” according to the advisory.

Coastal Storm and Snow Talk Grows for Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh and the Mid Atlantic as AI Models Show a Deep Upper Low, but Forecasters Warn It Is Too Early

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA — Talk of a possible East Coast storm, and even snow, is spreading online as forecast models show a powerful system near the Southeast around Friday night into Saturday, November 13 and 14. The European AI model (AIFS) shows a deep upper-level low centered near north Georgia and the western Carolinas. Several of its runs also show low pressure forming along the Mid-Atlantic or Carolina coast. Forecasters say people should not buy the “snow dump” forecasts circulating on social media yet. The storm is still about a week away, and the model runs disagree on where the low will track and how strong it will be. The best advice for now is to keep monitoring.

Tornado Threat Could Overperform Across Raleigh, Fayetteville, New Bern, Wilmington and Columbia as Storms Sweep the Carolinas, and a Strong Tornado Is Not Ruled Out

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA — Tornadoes are possible across the Carolinas and southeast Virginia on Friday, November 6, and some forecasters say this setup could overperform. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined only a 2 percent tornado risk, but forecasters see a good chance for tornadoes in a zone covering central and eastern North Carolina and central South Carolina. That includes Raleigh, Fayetteville, New Bern, Wilmington and Columbia. A strong tornado can’t be ruled out. The HRRR model simulated radar for noon EST shows a long line of storms stretching from the Delmarva Peninsula south through Richmond, Raleigh and Fayetteville to near Columbia and Charleston. Residents should stay weather aware throughout the day.
