Interesting Thanksgiving Clipper

[DS]

A clipper coming down over the Canadian rockies will drop south through the Tennessee valley and into the southern mid-Atlantic will have interesting precipitation with it. Several models including the GFS, ETA (Nam) and the European are indicating thicknesses cold enough for snow all the way towards the I-40 corridor of North Carolina. There is a decent chance that anyone from Kentucky to the Virginia coast could see a coating of snow on Thanksgiving morning. This is quite unusual as it is usually strange to see white Christmas this far south.

Interesting, what about me here in Havelock, NC??? I live between New Bern and Morehead City, do I even stand a chance at getting anything???

Well I guess this might mean that my sil and bil will not make it to Georgia form NC. I really wanted to see them.

Local mets here in ohio say we could see a couple of inches of snow by thanksgiving.

NWS here in Charlotte bouncing around abit with moisture with this system this far south. Critical heights will be a little more south than I think model shows, moisture how far south is key here. You seem accurate with the I-40 line.

Models can always change for the better regarding holiday traveling.

Actually, looking over new model data, I'm thinking the snow will be no farther south than south VA (Lynchburg, maybe Danville). North Carolina will have a SW low level flow that will limit anything to a mostly rain/ some flurries mix. Definitely no accumulation farther south than Lynchburg or Richmond. I should've caught that- the models always scoot these clippers too far south in early winter and too far north in late winter.
