Another Front Likely Saturday Could Bring Snow To Most WNC Locations

A shortwave front appears to run the trough following the strong storm that brings several inches of rainfall to WNC. This shortwave will likely move in sometime Saturday, and it will be able to take advantage of a cold front that has already laid down really cold air. As it develops on the tail end, some models show a blossoming of precipitation over a frozen column in WNC. Several models indicate this wave to be possible including the GFS, Euro, & CMC models, so the threat has legitimacy. I am just not exactly sure how it will work out though. The European ensemble indicated that an average of around an inch of snow would be possible for the Asheville airport through Sunday morning with some variations showing higher totals. Below you can see a depiction of what the GFS has shown for the past few runs.
