Flashback: Uptown Charlotte, Feb. 12, 2014.
4.6 inches of snow.

01/30/2026

Here it is! I turned us up to 4-7" across the area with isolated totals exceeding 7"+! This is a lighter snow that adds up quicker (while also blowing around more). Also snow is expected pretty much all day!

NOTE: Before we had 3-6" and I raised it cause I was seeing more confidence. Here is what could change:
Less snow between Albemarle and Raleigh due to dry air between two separate systems.
Heavier bands set up allowing for higher totals than what is on the map. But Charlotte seeing at least 4 inches of snow is trending more and more likely.

The BUST: I still think even if we limit the amount of time snow falls and dry air eats away at snow Charlotte's "bust" forecast is still at least 2-3"
