Looks like just a trace to around an inch, but we’re scheduled for a white first day of winter if not a white Christmas.

From WLOS meteorologist Jason Boyer on facebook:

The cold will start moving in tonight. Unfortunately, high winds and rain/flurries are also expected today as the cold front moves in.

From the National Weather Service’s High Wind Warning issued today:

…STRONG WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING… .A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING. BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS JUST AHEAD OF THE PASSING FRONT WILL BECOME VERY WINDY JUST BEHIND IT AS COLDER AIR SPILLS INTO THE REGION. THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN FRIDAY

According to Wunderground.com, we have an 80 percent chance of precipitation tonight, and a 40 percent chance of snow on Friday:

Partly cloudy with a chance of snow. High of 32F with a windchill as low as 9F. Windy. Winds from the NW at 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 55 mph. Chance of snow 40

Ray’s Weather says flurries may devlop overnight:

Scattered clouds with AM flurries possible; Windy & much colder; NW wind 20-25 mph (gusts to 45+ mph); Single-digit wind chill values possible at night

Winter begins Friday morning at 6:21 a.m.

Time to break out that hashtag again. You know the one I mean…
