Followed by a few more possible tornadoes in Georgia late Saturday night/Sunday morning. The concern for us in the Upstate is that storms in Georgia hold together long enough to bring possible tornadoes our way. It doesn't look too likely, but there is a small chance...

This will be a big outbreak. The parameters we often look at for severe storm/tornado potential are remarkably high for this event. MS/AL will likely get several long-track, intense tornadoes Saturday afternoon & evening...

👀Came across this yesterday on the trail at Paris Mountain: Looks like a lightning scar to me! ⚡️
You can see char marks on the edges of where the bolt rushed down the tree trunk. Pretty cool!
Filling in on the morning show tomorrow and Friday morning with your forecast on WYFF News 4.

A bittersweet forecast for me: My days here at WYFF News 4 are coming to an end.
My last day on-air here will be March 16th. I've got some career plans in the works that I'll be sharing soon. Take care of each other, and take care of the one & only planet we all love learning more about everyday.

Quiet for now here at home: Here's a look at Lake Hartwell this morning. We're only getting rain from this, but it will be a lot, turning heavy at times.
On top of what we've seen already, 2-3" of more rain for most of the Upstate. Sydney has your full forecast at noon on

Strong low developing along the Gulf coast this morning with a large moisture plume ahead of it. A lot of rain for the South today as a result.
Severe t-storms possible for Southern MS/AL where the humidity and lift are at their highest. A few strong tornadoes are possible...

Slowly turning away from winter and switching towards early spring next week in the South. Temperatures running 10-15° above normal for much of the region from this Sunday to next Wednesday.
This bucks the trend of anomalous cold we saw most of January. First full week of February looks quite warm.

Most of it will move through tomorrow afternoon & evening. There might be a rumble of thunder or two, but no big thunderstorms. Roughly 0.5" of rain or less in total.

Slowly coming out of the January igloo and shifting to early spring. Quick shortwave rolling across the South-Central States this morning. Bringing a good smattering of rain now, and will bring rain through the Carolinas tomorrow...

As usual with winter storms in our area, where exactly the transition line from snow to ice sits will weigh a lot on exactly how much snow we get. Here's how it looks as of now:

Snow totals are respectable: 2-3" for much of the Upstate. Closer to 2-6" across Western NC. Again, this can and probably will shift somewhat leading up to Friday afternoon. We'll keep you posted.

A mix of snow and ice mostly South of roughly I-85, mostly just snow North of I-85. Impacts should be low to medium on the roads...

It was a slightly more tame year for Greenville: 6th hottest year on record, and ranked 16th wettest for rainfall. Our 3-year long snow drought continues. We'll see if that lasts into this month!

It was also the 3rd wettest year on record in Asheville, mostly due to Hurricane Helene -- 66.05" of rain. Here's a crazy stat: 14" of that, or 21% of it, fell in just THREE DAYS. Wow.
