Charlotte's longest snow drought could come to an end tonight. Driving the news: There is a roughly 30% chance of flurries or little light snow around Charlotte and the Piedmont after midnight, WBTV chief meteorologist Al Conklin tells Axios.

The “scattered flurries” came when it was 26 degrees, and places to the north like Huntersville and Mooresville got more more than Charlotte. The flurries were expected to end before 7 a.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

A shot of cold air from over the Great Lakes sent North Carolina an early holiday present Monday night. But does this end the city’s nearly three-year-long snow drought?

Yes, that’s right! The Charlotte area has finally seen snow for the first time since January 29, 2022. However, the snow drought counter will not reset because we did not receive measurable snow at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

The Greenville-Spartanburg National Weather Service says snow flurries are in the forecast early this week east of the North Carolina mountains, including the Charlotte area and east of Interstate 77. Snow flakes could fall late Monday afternoon through early Tuesday morning.

Snowfall is possible in the Charlotte Metro this week for the first time in a long time -- but don’t expect too much. According to our First Alert meteorologists, there is a potential for snow showers and flurries in the early morning hours on Tuesday,
