Increasing Shower/Storm Coverage
We have enjoyed five dry days--the longest stretch of dry weather since early April. That winning streak came to an end for a good part of the region today as scattered t-showers developed with the heating of the day. Showers and storms will decrease in coverage overnight tonight with the loss of daytime heating, but more showers and storms are expected to develop once again tomorrow and Sunday. Temperatures this weekend will be somewhat cooler due to the clouds and showers.

Forecast Discussion
The showers and t-storms that developed earlier this afternoon continue to move north this evening, mainly affecting the northern counties (ie. Ashe, Alleghany) and far SW counties (Mitchell, Avery). These showers and storms should slowly wind down this evening leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies behind. While a few showers or t-showers could re-develop overnight, most should stay dry after this evening's showers move out. Some patchy fog will be possible as well, especially in and around areas that saw heavier rainfall earlier today.
This shower and t-shower activity is due to a slow-moving front that is located from Maryland to Iowa. Through Sunday, it will sag southward and be over us by Saturday night. Meanwhile, a robust disturbance is moving slowly west to east through the TN Valley.
Saturday and Sunday will be generally cloudy with periods of showers and storms thanks to the above-mentioned front and disturbance. Temperatures this weekend will be a bit cooler than the last several days.
Early next week, the disturbance will exit to the east and the front will lift back toward the north. The result will be a gradual increase in sun; however, isolated to scattered showers and thundershowers remain in the forecast. Tuesday and Wednesday, these showers/thundershowers will be triggered by daytime heating as temperatures climb back into the "warm" territory.
The next front from the west is expected early next Friday. Thursday will have increasing clouds with scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and overnight.
