Snow accumulates in high elevations as temperatures plummet in the Southeast

Snow piled up in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky in a rare early November snowstorm on Nov. 10.

00:00But Anna, we've got a lot of cold alerts and all kinds of weather alerts in the south.

00:04There's a lot going on, to put it lightly. We have some snow in some areas where we don't,

00:09we have the cold, and then we even have red flag warnings out. Now that's not related,

00:13obviously, but has to do with the wind direction and the dry conditions. So

00:17gives you an idea of all of the factors at play here in the southeast. So let's break it down

00:23piece by piece here. We're going to start off with the snow, if my monitor will cooperate with me.

00:29There we go. So radar, we go zooming in. You can see the snow overall. We are into Kentucky,

00:34Tennessee, and mostly North Carolina. Now things are shifting south and east. North Carolina,

00:40well, Marshall, you already had plenty of snow earlier, at least seen that drop in visibility

00:45because of how much snow was coming so quickly. You're going to see more accumulations as we head

00:49into the late evening and the overnight hours. One thing to point out here, road conditions for a lot

00:54of us, they're a-okay, but especially we get up into the higher elevations, we get into the

00:57Appalachians. That's where we have snow on the roads. We even have some ice, and you can see

01:01further to the west throughout much of Tennessee, the roads are at least wet, which still poses some

01:07danger. You want to make sure you're taking your time on at the roads. I mentioned the accumulation

01:11really kicking off later this evening through the overnight hours. Asheville specifically, 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.

01:16That's your time frame for coding to an inch. Now looking at our snow probabilities here, can't rule

01:21out a little above an inch or even getting little to none overall, so just know that the snow is going

01:30to fall, and we do think you get a coding to an inch. Just gives you an idea of the confidence level

01:34in that forecast with our snowfall probabilities. Taking a look at future radar overnight, we really

01:40get rid of this. The timing for Asheville, that's pretty much the timing for everybody, give or take a few

01:45hours in the morning. But the main takeaway, by the time you get to your morning commute, this thing is

01:49out of here, but you're left behind with the conditions. The snow has left. Now, there's also the

01:54temperature drop. That's the other story, even if you don't have the snow. Somewhere like Jacksonville, 23

01:58degree drop in the last 24 hours here. We do have power outages in Florida. Does not appear to be

02:04weather related. However, temperatures at this point in Volusia County especially, that's where we have

02:10these outages. You're in the 50s, the 60s. We're gonna drop overnight, so certainly can create a not

02:17so ideal, if even dangerous, situation overall with some of our lows tomorrow morning in the 20s and the 30s.
