Greenville, SC – Residents across western North Carolina could see their first flakes of the season tonight, with forecasters warning of possible light snow and evening flurries north of the I-40 corridor.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg Office, the best chance for flurries will be along and north of I-40, stretching from Asheville to Statesville and North Wilkesboro. A small area highlighted in orange on the latest forecast map shows where the system could “overperform,” bringing 1 to 2 inches of snow by late Monday night.
While accumulations are expected to remain minor for most areas, the NWS notes that slick spots could develop on bridges and elevated roadways, especially where temperatures dip near freezing overnight. Motorists traveling along I-40 and nearby mountain passes are advised to use caution as brief snow showers could reduce visibility.
The light snow is expected to taper off by early Tuesday as cold, dry air moves in behind the front. Daytime highs Tuesday should rebound into the 40s, with clearer skies returning midweek.
This marks one of the first measurable snow events of the 2025–26 winter season for parts of western North Carolina.
