The science of winter: Lessons learned during N.C. winter storm A winter storm has come and gone. As the Tar Heel State slowly starts to return to normal, weather experts in the state know winter weather can be anything but.

Here's an interesting look at why the forecast for this past weekend's winter storm was so challenging for North Carolina: specne.ws/hq8CN9 #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

It will be cold this weekend and next week, but it should not be as cold as it was 41 years ago. On this date in 1985, most locations in North Carolina set all time record low temperatures: specne.ws/zBu2Rj #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

A winter storm is possible in North Carolina this weekend Snow, sleet and freezing rain may fall in much of the state from Saturday through Sunday.

If you're in North Carolina, pay close attention to our weekend forecast. Fortunately, we have plenty of time, but it would be good to start early preparations for the potential of a significant winter storm: specne.ws/5bN3mg #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

While most of NC is seeing a cold rain, warmer air has arrived along parts of the coast. This could support a low risk for a brief tornado near coastal Onslow & Carteret Counties to near Cape Hatteras. #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

While there's no guarantee, there's a chance we could see the Northern Lights again in North Carolina tonight. Here's what to look for: specne.ws/FMC2GS #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s
