Cold & Blustery

Expect a clear and cold night with gusty winds under a northwest flow. Temperatures will moderate back a little bit closer to normal over the holiday weekend. Saturday features plenty of sunshine, although there will be more cloudiness around on Sunday. After a chilly Monday, we steadily moderate next week.

We are excited about the new Live Video Stream from the top of the Life Store Building on Blowing Rock Road in Boone. Many thanks to Life Store Bank for sponsoring what will be a popular camera as we head into winter.

Forecast Discussion

After idyllic Thanksgiving Day weather, cold air returned today on gusty northwesterly winds behind a departing frontal zone. It will be cold and blustery tonight under clear skies.

The weekend doesn’t look bad. The initially cold air mass will moderate some. Saturday features more sunshine than Sunday. A dry, reinforcing cold front will pass through later on Sunday, providing a chilly start to the workweek.

The air mass moderates nicely after Monday, with temperatures returning to above-normal for the second half of the week. Dry weather is set to continue until we get to the first weekend in December.
