All The Excitement Is South (For Now)…We’ll be “sitting on the sideline” through the upcoming 7-day forecast period as we watch two or three storm systems track through the Deep South. The first of these storms will drop an accumulating snow event for Southern Appalachia Thursday evening and Friday. Meanwhile, we’ll remain quiet back here on the home front with mostly cloudy to cloudy skies. The only other item of note will be an increasingly stiff northeast breeze during this time period (gusts of 10 to 20 MPH).

“Dirty” high pressure will keep our region dry early next week. Despite the extended dry period, we still anticipate dealing with a good deal of cloudiness (hence the labeling). We’ll watch another storm system organize well to our south to open the new work week. Low pressure will move from the northwestern Gulf of Mexico northeast- once again laying down a nice swath of snow for our friends in Southern Appalachia (as well as deeper into the south this next go around).

We still believe things here will start to get busier by the 2nd half of next week…
