Forecast Discussion

Clouds pulled away from the area this afternoon, leading to a rather nice evening. Weekend weather will be governed by high pressure. This will promote plenty of sunshine and rather seasonable temperatures for Saturday through Sunday.

Next up will be low-pressure coming out of the southern Plains on Sunday, reaching the Mid-Atlantic coast by Tuesday afternoon. This will drive a warm front through here on Monday, followed by a trailing cold front by early Tuesday. Rain will be the byproduct, developing Sunday night and continuing on Monday.

We clear things out for a pleasant Tuesday around western North Carolina. Temperatures will be noticeably mild.

Another low will affect the area by Wednesday night and Thursday. This time around, marginally colder air will become involved in our weather pattern, and so we’re keeping a rain-snow mix in the forecast at this early stage.
