Thursday was a bright but windy day and while nearly all the snow is gone and spring cleanups are underway, it’s still officially winter.

Remember: A Winter Weather Advisory serves as a “heads up” to an impending minor snow event. Sunday will bring sunshine, but there will be a noticeable wind at times. Snow accumulations are likely across East Tennessee, and driving conditions could become unsafe.

By Saturday, that snow should spread into the mid-Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and parts of the Appalachians.

There is a chance for some snow showers Saturday night and into Sunday in the Historic Triangle. Temperatures are expected to be around freezing through the period. Alternate side parking has been suspended in the city Friday to facilitate snow removal efforts.

As round 2 is exiting the East Coast, this next system will be wringing out more snow in the northern Plains Sunday. Strong wind gusts can accompany these squalls, making for very brief whiteout conditions. However, it is still five days away from forming, so the details are far from certain. Expect lows in the teens with partly to mostly cloudy skies.

“Snow is possible in all of North Carolina from top to bottom”. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibility.

It’s not totally unusual to see winter weather in March. The advisory predicted 3 to 4 inches in Central Bucks County and Upper Bucks County.

Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Ocean: Less than 1 inch.

The Triad and Northwest North Carolina might get winter in March that “we didn’t have in February”, Beasley said.
