We don’t often envy the states in the Upper Midwest or Northeast, but for several years they’ve hogged all the snow, more than 3 feet in some places just over the past Thanksgiving weekend.
Perhaps sensing our jealousy, the National Weather Service has tossed central North Carolina at least the possibility of a flurry twice in this week’s forecast .
These really are holiday leftovers, chances of wintry weather that come as a result of the Artic high-pressure system that buried those places to the north and another system on the way.
But we haven’t seen snow since January 29, 2022 . We’ll take what we can get.
Our first shot at snow, early Tuesday morning
Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill could see snow flurries between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Chances are slightly higher to our west and south, where there might be a little more moisture in the air. Greensboro and Asheboro could see snow showers before 1 a.m and the chance of flurries between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., with no significant accumulation expected .
