Forecast Discussion
Today's forecast is pretty easy with high pressure centered in the Mid-Atlantic States nosing down into the Carolinas. Temperatures were still mild but not as much as the past few days. More changes are brewing.
Low pressure in the Texas Panhandle moves ENE to Missouri by early Saturday with a warm front extending through the Tennessee Valley into Georgia. Clouds will overtake the region tonight as moisture from the southwest overrides cool air at lower elevations. Saturday will be cloudy, cool and rainy (especially in the afternoon and at night). Higher elevations will see temperature rises first (Saturday afternoon); then cool air will scoured from the valleys Saturday night as the low approaches from the west.
An associated cold front will move through Sunday keeping light rain and drizzle in our forecast. Colder air will press in from the west Sunday. High temperatures will be in the early morning Sunday; then temperatures will fall through most of the day. Precipitation could end Sunday evening with a few snowflakes.
The rest of this 7-day forecast is generally dry with seasonal temperatures. A weak front moves through Wednesday morning with a few sprinkles or snowflakes possible.
