Forecast Discussion

Skies will remain mostly cloudy through the night with areas of fog developing overnight. As colder air moves in, the fog may freeze on contact creating some very light icing on elevated surfaces, especially west of the Blue Ridge. A weak upper level disturbance will keep skies mostly cloudy through the day Monday before some clearing develops late.

The middle of next week will feature periods of sun and clouds, but no significant rain or snow is expected. By the end of the week, it is becoming more likely that an arctic front will move through the area bringing a return to winter-like weather. The finer details such as how cold and any chances for frozen precipitation remain unclear at this time. Stay tuned...
