A rare winter storm is tracking through the Southeast the end of this week, and has already produced record snowfall in some locations. On Thursday, Dallas recorded 11.2" of snowfall, which is the most snowfall ever recorded in a single day there. Here are some of the other snow totals so far:
Haslet, TX 14.2"
Bridgeport, TX 12.0"
Ennis, TX 10.3"
Cottondale, TX 9.5"
North Forth Worth, TX 9.0"
Haworth, OK 7.5"
Foreman, AR 4.0"
Natchitoches, LA 4.0"
West Monroe, LA 3.0"
Wesson, MS 3.0"
Shreveport, LA 2.0"
Columbia, MS 2.0"
This storm is expected to bring an accumulating snow through the rest of the Southeast Friday into Saturday, and Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories stretch all the way from eastern Texas into the Carolinas.
Notice that Virginia is not included in these watches, warnings, and advisories as a result of this storm taking a southerly track. We will, however, have a chance for a few snow flurries or showers Saturday as an upper-level disturbance tracks from the Midwest over Virginia. Only a dusting is possible for the locations that receive the flurries/showers. A much better chance for a fresh accumulating snow will be on Monday as a potent upper-level low dives out of Central Canada into the Midwest and aims for the Commonwealth. That storm may produce several inches in parts of the state, but the exact amounts and locations are yet to be determined. We'll provide updates on potential snowfall accumulations as the storm gets closer!
