High-Resolution Models Show Strong Southern Snow Signal for Sunday as Low-Pressure Track Becomes Critical Across the Southeast

SOUTH CAROLINA — Forecasters are now tracking stronger southern snow signals for Sunday as high-resolution models come into range and begin lining up with both the GFS and European guidance. This shift marks an important inflection point, bringing the forecast into a window where small-scale details start to matter and confidence begins to sharpen.

High-Res Guidance Confirms Snow but Shows Slightly Different Timing

The latest high-resolution data confirms snow is likely somewhere in the region, though the timing differs somewhat from earlier projections. According to the update, the newer guidance suggests:

• A Sunday lunchtime start,
• With snow continuing into Sunday afternoon and evening.

This timing refinement is significant because it aligns the high-resolution models with broader long-range trends, increasing confidence that the system will produce winter weather somewhere across the Southeast.

Model Differences Highlight the Key Question: Where Will the Snow Set Up?

Despite growing agreement that snow will occur, placement remains the biggest uncertainty.

• The European model continues to favor a track south of the Upstate, which would deliver more of a glancing blow to coastal Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.
• The GFS, along with newly updated high-resolution models, shows a broader swath of snow, driven by a stronger low-pressure system farther south.

These competing scenarios illustrate how small deviations in storm track could shift who receives meaningful snowfall and who sees only lighter or passing impacts.

High-Res NAM Highlights Potential for “Big Snow”

The NAM graphic included in the update depicts:

• A stronger southern low,
• A defined precipitation shield,
• And an area marked “Several Inches” extending across parts of the Southeast.

This model run amplifies the possibility of a more impactful snowfall if the low-pressure center deepens and maintains a favorable southern track.

While not a guarantee, the pattern shown is consistent with setups that have produced notable southern snow events in past years.

Forecast Now Hinges on Low-Pressure Track and Placement

From here, forecasters emphasize that everything depends on the track and strength of the low-pressure system.
Small adjustments over the next 24–48 hours could dramatically change snowfall placement and overall totals.

Early indications suggest a near-ideal setup for a potentially meaningful southern snowfall, but meteorologists stress the need for consistency across model runs before raising confidence levels further.

More Updates Expected as Models Continue Converging

With high-resolution data now in range and each new run offering clearer insight, forecasters encourage residents across the region to stay tuned for rapidly evolving updates.
