Believe it or not, Lake Norman… we might not be done with winter yet.
Another round of possible snow is showing up on the forecast radar for this weekend, and according to meteorologist Chase Myers, the chances are actually increasing. While nothing is locked in (because winter loves chaos), the setup is becoming more favorable for another real snow event in our area.
Here’s what’s happening: a low-pressure system is expected to develop off the coast, strengthening into a Nor’easter as it moves up the eastern seaboard toward New England. That means powerful snow and wind along the coast — and with plenty of cold air already in place around Lake Norman, any precipitation we get would likely fall as dry, fluffy snow. Yes, the fun kind. The photogenic kind. The “social media explodes” kind.
Current timing suggests:
Snow could begin late Friday night
Heaviest impacts likely Saturday
Ending early Sunday morning
Highs stay in the 20s Saturday
Barely near freezing Sunday
Travel conditions could deteriorate quickly once snow starts falling, especially Saturday, making it a good time to rethink road trips, long drives, and anything that involves tight schedules. While the heaviest snowfall totals are expected east of us, a few inches for the Lake Norman area is still very much on the table as of this update.
The forecast will continue to evolve (because winter weather always does), but flexibility is the name of the game. Translation: it might be smart to have a Plan B for Saturday that includes blankets, soup, and staying put.
We’ll keep sharing updates as Chase tracks the system — but for now, Lake Norman, consider this your friendly heads-up: winter might be making an encore appearance.
