White Christmas?
Our weather forecast is calling for a significant chance of snow on Christmas Day in Raleigh. Currently the forecast shows a 60% chance of snow the afternoon and evening of Christmas Day. My forecaster friend Jeff Orrock says this snow could be significant.
We could be looking at a White Christmas and then some. Stay tuned!
A STORM SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH CHRISTMAS DAY…BEFORE MAKING A TURN TO THE NORTHEAST AND MOVING ALONG THE SOUTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC COAST CHRISTMAS NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WHILE THERE REMAINS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EXACT TRACK AND TIMING OF THIS STORM…CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WILL SEE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL.

While a lot of folks are dreaming of a white Christmas, this storm has the potential to become a major snowstorm from the Carolinas to the northeast. This would create dangerous or impossible travel conditions.
