Um it’s always been a overnight threat for these areas in the east. It’s better to clear out and turn cold tonight to actually support flurries after midnight.

It’s also called a katabatic wind. It’s a wind that carries high-density air from a higher elevation down a slope under the force of gravity. It usually pulls all the moisture from a system and allows for clearing.

Wow, it’s snowing pretty good up here at the cabin right now. We just came up from breakfast and I’m so surprised at it starting this early. I think this bodes well for later !

Maybe so for climo favored areas east of the Apps in NC, but specifically for his area (Upstate) lying S/SE of the escarpment, it's going to be difficult to get flurries into the French Broad River Valley let alone into Greenville-Spartanburg.
The northern mountains (Blowing Rock) will hold on to the snow showers into Wednesday...with the colder temps too. Looks to shut off 1 day sooner the further you are to Asheville maybe on Tuesday. And if you even further north of blowing rock the snow doesn’t stop till almost Thursday in West Virginia. Per latest short range models (nam).

Blowing Rock is forecast to be sunny on Wednesday.
Still dropping here. Has gone from 43.4 to 41.9 in last half hour.
Yep after 10am the nam warms things up too quickly imo. I would be surprised tho if the snow showers linger into early afternoon Wednesday.

Cold af outside. I better get some flurries for having to suffer through this kind of weather lol
CMC is likely a winter event Friday for western Carolinas...shows widespread 34 temps but given incoming snowpack I bet it’s more sleet/wintery. I doubt rain in the mtns.
Glenn Burns says he doesn’t see any snow or flurries for the metro.
Better prepare for the incoming blizzard folks!

Down to 32.0 here at 4650 on Beech and now the flakes are flying albeit they are small. LOL.
For those in the northern mountains (north of AVL), the flow snow will exit late Tuesday evening probably before midnight Tuesday night. Thing will look epic come Wednesday morning with the fresh snow cover and rime ice covered trees.

Sleet/Freezing rain setup per NWS AFD. Ashe County NC currently favored on the cmc temp maps Friday.
17.1 mph, highest gust so far.
Winter Storm Dave has been named. Obs thread for the Carolinas?
