Forecast Discussion
Our snow-producing feature has exited stage right, and Canadian high pressure is building strongly into western North Carolina today. That will promote brilliant sunshine and chilly temperatures today, and clear skies and downright cold conditions tonight.
As the high shifts offshore by late in the weekend, developing southerly breezes will transport milder air into the region, so temperatures will moderate nicely for Saturday and Sunday as dry weather is maintained.
Changes occur quickly by early next week as a warm front heads back our way on Monday, followed by a frontal passage early Tuesday. Rain will return to start the new workweek and it will be chilly.
There will be a significant break in action after Tuesday morning into Wednesday, when the next strong cold front pushes through by late Wednesday. Mild temperatures are expected. A few showers will accompany the front Wednesday afternoon, followed by mostly clear and colder weather for next Thursday.
