Warm to Cold - In A Hurry - FOX Carolina 21

Rain & Flooding Turns to Snow in Western, NC:  The change was drastic yesterday in many Western NC towns.  One of those places to experience a big switch in conditions within a 6-12 hour period was Boone, NC.  Check out the photos I matched up this morning from Boone.

River  Flood Warnings:  Henderson and Transylvania counties remain under a River Flood warning which is in effect until early Saturday morning.  Keep an eye out for high water in low-lying areas close-by and around the French Broad River Valley.

Cold Friday:  A cool, breezy Thursday will turn into a chilly Friday as colder temperatures spill into our region.  Highs will only reach the low-middle 40s for Upstate towns with 30s expected by afternoon across Western NC.

Area-Wide Snow Flurries - SAT?:  Another, stronger clipper system will plunge down Saturday guided by the flow of a polar jet.  Since this system will bring it's own cold air and it's own moisture (to a some degree), I wouldn't be surprised if a few, brief snow flurries broke out in a few Upstate or NE Georgia towns Saturday night.  Western NC can expect another round of accumulating snow Saturday evening through Sunday morning as this system moves through.
