Thursday 3/6-Friday 3/7 for Western North Carolina (Gary/Asheville)

I (Gary) have not updated #Wx much, because there has been little in the way of interesting #Wx in Western North Carolina.  This weekend's potential weather appeared, at least to the National Weather Service, to be little more than a wintry blip on the radar screen of the proverbial airliner destined for Spring.  WxSouth, NC Piedmont Weather, WNC Weather, and others mentioned the possibility of this system over-performing for most of the week.  The NWS has now issued a Winter Storm Warning for Buncombe county, as well as for most of Western North Carolina.  Significant accumulations of snow are probably for the highest elevations; however, the forecast is tricky for the valleys and foothills. Fluctuations in temperature of just a few degrees will matter a great deal for whether or not the Asheville area will see accumulating snow or sleet, or mostly plain old rain.  Even at this late hour there is no consensus among meteorologists regarding the forecast for our area.

I am not a meteorologist.  I encourage you to visit the links above for a forecast for your area.  I will however, update this post with some regularity, as precipitation falls.
