❄️ A northwest flow snow event will likely be across the higher elevation of the mountains tonight through early Wednesday. Accumulating snow is possible, mainly above 3,500ft. Amounts will be light. However, due to Hurricane Helene, many still don't have proper heating in this area, so please be careful.
Accumulation: A dusting to 1-3 (mainly along the TN border communities) inches is expected for anyone above 3,500ft; some flakes could even fly for the valleys low chance below 3,500ft. The big winners for snow are above 3,500ft into the Smokies and along the North Carolina-Tennessee border 2+ inches like along the highest peaks, for example, the Smokies mountains, Mount Mitchell, the western facing ski resorts, and Blue Ridge Parkways. A few ridgetop locations will exceed 2+ inches, especially in the Smokies Clingmans Dome, and Max Patch Wolf Laurel, very high locations of the mountains Roan Mountain/ Carvers Gap. Snowfall amounts are highly dependent on elevation; the higher you are, the better. The lower you are in the valleys, little to no amounts.
Timing: Snow will start tonight across the mountains and continue on and off through early Wednesday. This snow is not ideal for the mountians right now due to Hurricane Helene.
