Forecasters say ...
Western North Carolina residents may see the first snowflakes of the year as cold temperatures hit the state's mountains.
And here it is from the local forecaster:
Daytime highs will be at sunrise. A cold front moving through early this morning is ushering in very cold air; expect steady or falling temperatures and windy conditions today. Tonight, snow flurries will develop. Snow flurries will continue Tuesday with a few heavier snow showers in the western upslope regions right along the NC/TN line. Snow flurries will end Tuesday evening. Tuesday's highs will be closer to normal for January 28 than October 28. Unseasonably chilly weather will continue into Wednesday. We'll look forward to Thursday when a warmup begins.
