Heads up for dense fog tonight as warm air tries to move in over the surface cool air. We usually get low ceilings and dense fog to form quickly!

While we need the rainfall, we could get a little too much too fast tomorrow night and Wednesday. Winter heavy rain tends to run off quicker due to dormant vegetation, so stay Weather Aware for isolated flooding, especially in poor drainage areas.

Reminder: this Saturday, Chimney Rock will open briefly to show off the progress they have made. While many will go, more can't, but they want to support the town and the rebuilding process. You can do both by either visiting the market of local shops set up at Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort or scanning the QR codes or website to donate. All those funds help the local businesses rebuild and stay on their feet. I'll be heading over Friday night and staying Saturday and sharing everything here on my page.

Undulatus clouds today have a perfect set-up. Warm air over cool and wave action. Think of when oil and vinegar separate in a salad dressing bottle and the interface between them.

Most of North Carolina is in right now, but the good news is that this week, much-needed rainfall is on the way. This will help reduce fire damage and help with wildfires as well.

Crowders Mountain-Coyote Fire last night as Stacie Rae Plesz flew into Charlotte-Douglas from her plane. The rain and firefighters have it 92% contained right now

12/09/2024

Crowders Mountain-Coyote Fire Update 8:20 am: The rain overnight and the firefighting efforts have the fire 92% contained. Right now, there is no risk of it moving past containment lines. The fire is 730 acres, and crews will keep working today to get it 100% contained. More rain will fall today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, and it should be entirely out shortly. The first flared up late yesterday and last night as backfires were being used to contain it. IT was detected on satellite imagery as well. I am still waiting to hear if a cause has been determined, but preliminary it was human-caused. Avoid the area to let crews work; there is no danger to the public or structures.

Yes, we could see some snow flurries overnight, but no it won't amount to much and be a big deal. Other than the fact it's been 1039 days since we have seen even a trace in Charlotte. Here's how we could see flurries and why it might be much of anything. #cltwx #snOMG #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

Snow flurries

"So you're saying there's a chance?" There is a 20-30% chance of flurries Monday night into Tuesday morning. Now, there are a few things that argue against this, with dry air eating this up. Maybe we get "snirga" a.k.a. snow falling but not falling to the ground. There is enough energy and cold for flurries, but it just lacks moisture, and most of that is way above the ground. Bottom line: -No big deal or impacts - Little to no accumulations - Just need a trace to break the snow drought -Most will sleep through it or not see it. #snOMG #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc #flurries
