Cold November could mean December snow!
The cold air of November is now leading to a cold December. November was the coldest November in Charlotte in 32 years and the 5th coolest on record. It’s early this month but we are already 9 degrees below average just 5 days into the month. Now we turn our eyes towards our first chances at some wintery precipitation for areas outside of the mountains. The models have been consistent in developing a major storm system for Tuesday into Wednesday next week, but that have been flip flopping from a rain storm to a winter storm the past few runs. The track will be the key, because based on the pattern we have seen and the amount of snow cover being laid down to our northwest. The cold would appear to be there if the storms tracks just to our south or right over us.
Notice the amount of cold air coming down from Canada over the snow-covered grounds of the upper mid-west. Those temperatures are -34 below zero Celsius and the models maybe underestimate the amount of cold! You can see why next week will be very interesting to say the least. Check out the early season snow cover already on Dec 4th!
