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.
