A 1030+ mb surface high on top of fresh snow cover over the Interior NE US is usually a recipe for freezing rain/ice in the west-central Piedmont of NC & VA This late week system is definitely worth watching in the southern mid-Atlantic #ncwx #vawx

Not since 1968 has Des Moines seen this much #snow in a November storm. 9.9" so far ranks as the 3rd biggest November snowstorm on #record in 140 years. And that's 70% of what fell all of last season!

As for Tuesday...my thoughts have not changed with thinking this one is going to be a "close but no cigar" in terms of it being a big snow event for the DC region. Now, if moisture gets in here early enough on Tuesday (pre-dawn) you could still be cold enough to get some snow

Happy Thanksgiving! Colder and windy but pleasant weather to start the holiday weekend. Staying cold but diminishing wind through Saturday. Cloudy with increasing rain chances on Sunday. #ncwx #scwx #gawx

Right around sunrise this morning, a few rays of sunlight managed to sneak through and light up the bases of the clouds to our east. Westerly flow over the summit created a very distinct lenticular cloud located to the center-left of the picture, bordered by a red ring. (1/2)

The first snow of the season turned Paris into a winter wonderland over the weekend. Up to about 1.5 inches of snow was reported in the area, according to France's weather agency.

💯. I’ve always been suspicious of these type accounts. Something felt “off” and now we know why.

MAGA accounts exposed as foreign actors is a hugely important story. I wrote about its consequences already in "Road to Unfreedom" and we know much more now. If we want to be a democracy we have to create structures of factuality rather than selling our future to the loudest

Isolated to scattered showers will begin to develop across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia around daybreak Tuesday. Check to see when your location will receive steadier rainfall through the rest of the morning into the early afternoon hours. #scwx #ncwx #gawx

A snowy day in the Scottish Highlands looked straight out of Narnia, with animals gathered along the road as snow blanketed the landscape. 🦌❄️

Dry and "cooler" high pressure builds into the area today. No record highs today, but readings will be around 10 degrees above normal. It does cool off tonight, with lows near normal across the mountains and up to 5 degrees above normal elsewhere. #ncwx #scwx #gawx

Did not like the heat on our opening day at Rash’s Tree Patch. 70’s and trees don’t go well together and can cause the Christmas trees to crack. 🌲 #ncwx

Arctic air will blow into central and eastern states around Thanksgiving, likely followed by another cold surge in early December. A battleground of frigid northern air and milder southern air will probably spark an active storm track, with winter storms possible in the north.

Yep it’s been very warm this year working in the Christmas tree business and we have lots of cracked trees as a result 🤦‍♂️🌲

I know it’s not sexy, but while the entire weather enterprise - it seems - is focused on extreme US cold, which may take weeks to materialize, the country has been roasting. Over the past 7 days 100s of heat records have been broken, and the nation as a whole has been ~4F above

It was quite a warm November day, one for the books. The high temperature broke the record for Charlotte, NC with 79F (at the CLT Airport) and tied at the GSP Airport in SC with 78F! #scwx #ncwx #gawx
