Success!
A brief burst of snow across central North Carolina on Monday night dropped 0.4" of accumulation at Greensboro's airport, breaking the observation station's 1,038-day snowless streak.
This was the airport's second-longest stretch of consecutive days without any measurable snowfall. Previously, the last time it snowed enough in Greensboro to take a measurement was on January 29, 2022.
A large portion of the region saw a nice dusting of snow as this upper-level disturbance swung through the region. The snow fell vigorously enough to overcome the dry air, giving some communities between Greensboro and Charlotte as much as 1-2 inches of snow by the end of the night.
The snow didn't manage to reach the Raleigh-Durham area, and Charlotte's airport only recorded a trace of snow. A trace of snow occurs when snowfall is observed, but it doesn't accumulate on the ground. The streak of consecutive days without measurable snowfall continues at these airports.
This was likely our last opportunity to see snow for at least the next two weeks. A ridging pattern will build back over the eastern U.S. through next week, forcing temperatures to return to normal (50s during the day) for a while.
