Asheville hasn’t disappointed. Anywhere from 6”-12” is common in and around the southern NC mountains. Now we brace for big wind and a northwest upslope snow event before things wind down and attention shifts to another southern storm late week. The icing on the cake? Having an opportunity to chat with Jim Cantore.

It’s back to “regularly scheduled” programming Tuesday evening. I appreciate your patience when I’ve been out on the road these past few days.

As we look at our weather over the upcoming 7-10 days, cold and rather uneventful sums it up. We’ll have a couple of dry cold fronts that will reinforce the arctic air, but any meaningful precipitation will be hard to come by between now and the end of the week.

Coldest days appear to be slated for Thursday and Friday where highs won’t make it much above the mid 20s. Throw in a gusty northwest wind and wind chill values will plummet below zero at times. Another jab of arctic air is slated to arrive the early to middle part of next week and we’ll need to monitor for the prospects of potentially something more “exciting” on the snowy side with that system.
