Any time there's a chance for snow in Charlotte, it's all about timing. Is it cold and wet enough at the same time? Is the air too dry? We've examined those questions during Weather IQ, and the math worked out Monday overnight to bring Charlotte its first snow since 2022.
From Monday evening through early Tuesday morning, the atmospheric conditions were favorable for a few snowflakes.
Even with a bit of snow reaching the ground, the impact is extremely minimal. Snow flurries in December wouldn't grab much attention if it was not for the Charlotte snow drought. But it only takes a trace to break our snowless drought in Charlotte, which stood at 1,037 days. The last time there was measurable snow (including a trace) before this was on Jan. 29, 2022.
