Here’s When You Can Expect Turbulent Weather In North Carolina This Week
Here’s when you can expect turbulent weather in North Carolina this week. It seems no region of the state will be immune by some kind of severe weather. Here’s why.
The National Weather Service says a major storm system is expected not only in North Carolina but throughout the South. And early in the week, Tar Heel residents can expect snow and strong winds in the North Carolina mountains. Here in the Charlotte area heavy rains and thunderstorms should arrive early.

The Coastal area of North Carolina should experience “multiple threats” according to the National Weather Service. Our source for this story, the Charlotte Observer reports Ocracoke Island, Cape Hatteras and other parts of the Outer Banks will experience heavy rain, strong winds and some flooding. Also, snow is expected in the Western part of North Carolina along the Tennessee border and in areas above 3,500 feet. Forecaster Clay Chaney from the National Weather Service, tells the Charlotte Observer the effected areas will include Beech Mountain, Roan Mountain and the community of Wolf Laurel. That’s about 30 miles north of Asheville.
It seems odd to be hearing about snow after experiencing mild temperatures over the weekend. And there is no threat of that in the piedmont. The temperature won’t be the problem. We should see highs in the 50s and low 60s. But there will be a deluge of rain according to the weather experts. The Charlotte Observer reports, there will be heavy rains at the beginning of the week. In the Chester County, South Carolina the rain will be accompanied by thunderstorms.
Once we get past Monday, the temperatures look mild for the Charlotte area Tuesday through Friday. To learn more about this story get details from our source, The Charlotte Observer, right here.
These Two North Carolina Mountain Hotels Are The South's Best Hotels
Few things are better than the feeling you get when you walk into a top-tier hotel. You know the ones I’m talking about. The large welcoming lobbies, the friendly doorman, and the attention to every detail. And that’s not even counting the rooms. The nicest of linens, comfortable beds with turndown service, and bathrooms that feel spa-like. Now I’m ready to pack my bags! The type of hotel stay that leaves you dreaming of returning, not just to the city but to the hotel. While these types of accommodations aren’t typical of the many trips I take, I have had the opportunity to stay in a few of these luxurious places.
And two of the ones I have stayed at are both in North Carolina. In fact, they are both in the North Carolina Mountains. And these two hotels have something else in common as well. Both of these North Carolina hotels were named on Southern Living’s list of The South’s Best Hotels for 2023. Both offer guests incredible, memorable experiences. Each features spas, fabulous dining, and a gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountain setting. Oh, and both are immaculately decorated during the holidays. While any time of year is perfect to visit, Christmas is by far my favorite. Have I given it away yet?
