So we have to talk about this pattern, which is all it is right now. Plenty of cold air and a deep trough mean a coastal low could develop Saturday into Sunday. Too early for specifics, but yes, it's a favorable pattern for winter weather in the Southeast somewhere. Nothing like this past weekend, and likely more of a snow or no snow kinda thing. Stay tuned! #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc
@wxbrad Brad i think it’s time to start to think about your apology tweet. This thing was a bust and the sooner you show us some accountability the sooner we will move on and let it go. God bless
Yesterday you tell us “buy sleds”. Today you tell us “buy a generator.” Wonder what we’ll be buying tomorrow can’t wait to find out @wxbrad@wcnc no credibility
@SCweather_wx Just this morning my Friend Ralph reminded me that “our God is a patient God” and I’m really trying to carry that with me today. Thoughts and prayers to you Mitch
This graphic is a perfect example of why snow expectations and reality don’t always line up 👀❄️
From left to right, this is what we’re really talking about with most “snow chances” around here:
TRACE → You might see flakes flying, maybe a few white specks on the grass, but many spots stay completely green.
DUSTING to 0.5" → This is your classic Carolina snow look. Grass, rooftops, decks, cars, and mulch turn white… but roads? Still just wet.
1"+ of snow → Now it finally looks like winter. Lawns are solidly covered, elevated surfaces stack up nicely, and you get that true “snow day vibe.”
And this is the key part 👇
Most accumulation happens on grass and elevated surfaces, not roads. Ground temps, treated pavement, and marginal air temps make it very hard for snow to stick on streets unless rates are heavy or temps are well below freezing.
So when we’re talking about trace amounts or a dusting, don’t expect a winter wonderland — expect novelty flakes, a light coating in spots, and no travel issues.
Matching expectations to reality keeps the forecast honest and the hype in check. ❄️

24 hours ago you predicted a snow storm for Charlotte and since then it’s been crickets all day? What gives @wxbrad do the weatherman thing and tell us about the weather????
