Confidence builds for a potential high impact winter storm in the Southeast this weekend

1.20 Update A major winter storm has the potential to develop this weekend, affecting areas from Texas and Oklahoma to Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas. The European model shows worsening conditions Saturday with the potential for a significant ice storm. The storm is fueled by abundant Gulf moisture and cold air, creating a long-duration event from Atlanta to Greenville to Charlotte, starting mid-morning Saturday and continuing into Sunday evening. The European model suggests the storm could last until Monday morning, followed by very cold temperatures. The European model currently predicts significant snow for the Tennessee Valley and western North Carolina, but more ice in southern areas like the Upstate of South Carolina. In contrast, the GFS model shows a colder profile with continuous snow from Saturday morning through Monday afternoon. Meteorologist Chris Justus emphasized that the storm's impact will vary based on its path, with more snow if the low-pressure system moves farther south and a mix of ice and snow if it takes a middle route. If the low-pressure system takes a northern track there will be more widespread rain. 1.20 Update #snow #ice #icestorm #winter #weather #snowstorm #blackice #update #forecast #weekend #closure #southcarolina #northcarolina #greenville #asheville #charlotte #wnc #tennessee #knoxville #mountains #upstate #fyp #alert #winterstorm #Atlanta #alabama #georgia
