  • Charlotte has another chance of snow this week. It won’t be a repeat of Saturday

    The National Weather Service predicts the Charlotte region could get snow this week, but it will not be a repeat of the storm on Saturday.

    The National Weather Service has dared to suggest Charlotte might get more snow this week, but it will pale by comparison to the record-setting storm this past Saturday.

    A mix of rain and snow could happen around 3 a.m. Thursday – a 30% chance – when temperatures are in the twenties, according to the latest forecast.

    The odds of a rain/snow mix are “low end,” forecasters say, and no accumulation is expected.

    Charlotte got between 6 and 12 inches this past Saturday, and high-end snow accumulations of 16 inches were reported in the northern metro area. Daytime highs in the thirties and forties are expected to melt a lot of the snow, officials say.

    By Saturday, the Charlotte region could see a high near 50 degrees, but lows at night will continue to be below freezing, the National Weather Service says.

    Tornado warning active in southern Virginia

    [ad_1]

    RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Multiple tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings popped up across central North Carolina on Wednesday afternoon.

    A tornado warning is in effect for Mecklenburg County, Virginia, until 6:45 p.m.

    See all active weather advisories here.

    The severe weather started around 3 p.m. and lasted for just over an hour.

    A tornado watch remains in effect for Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Halifax, Nash, Person, Vance and Warren counties until 7 p.m.

    Tornado watch vs warning: Here’s the difference and what they mean during severe weather

    AccuWeather explains the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning.

    Scattered showers began Wednesday morning before the afternoon severe weather.

    A shower may linger into the evening, but we’ll see clearing skies beyond that point as drier air rushes in on west winds gusting to around 25 mph.

    Thursday looks to be downright refreshing, with highs around 60 and a cool breeze continuing through the day. There could be evening showers on Thursday and Friday.

    Similar conditions are likely this weekend, with highs near 60 through Saturday with a system tracking north of the region. Temps will climb into the low to mid-70s early next week.
