Snow is showing signs of making a rare appearance in the South this weekend, with forecast models indicating a growing possibility of flakes falling across parts of the region.

The FOX Forecast Center is tracking an increasing likelihood of meaningful snowfall along a corridor in the South, potentially bringing snow to the Florida Panhandle northward through Georgia, the Carolinas and into Virginia.

It’s still early in the forecast window, and details remain far from certain given the extended timeframe, but emerging model data suggests snow potential from Sunday onward, extending along much of the coastal areas.

Any precipitation would likely begin Saturday evening and persist into Sunday. (RELATED: Eastern Pacific Could Witness Never-Before-Seen Tropical Disturbance In January)

While exact amounts are still unclear, accumulating snow — possibly enough to require plowing — cannot be ruled out, which would create major travel disruptions in Southern locations that rarely deal with wintry conditions.

Multiple computer models are trending toward the development of notable snowfall in the South, with an uptick in the probability that the scenario will verify.

An initial push of Arctic air this week is expected to bring dangerously cold conditions — potentially cold-stunning iguanas in Florida — and has already prompted cold weather alerts throughout the Southeast into Thursday. A follow-up surge of cold air from Canada is then forecast to reinforce the chill, setting up an interaction with moisture being pulled northward from the Gulf of America.

Southern snow?!?❄️❄️

There are still many details that need to be ironed out with this complex setup.@realalexwilson & @DrRickKnabb have the latest on the models and potential snowfall across the southeast this weekend. @weatherchannel pic.twitter.com/nQ05kgBcOf

This dip in the jet stream is the key driver enabling the setup.

The combination of incoming moisture overrunning the cold air mass could trigger snowfall as early as Saturday night in portions of the northern Gulf Coast.

This moisture surge may create a favorable window for snow to develop and expand into northern Florida, southern Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina through Sunday.

Several key uncertainties remain, including whether a sufficiently strong low-pressure system will form off the Southeast coast to pull precipitation into the area.

For now, residents across the South should closely monitor updates, as this has the potential to become a disruptive weather event this weekend.
