Forecast Discussion

An upper-level disturbance moved through in a strong NW flow last night. Clouds will be on the increase tonight.

There is a center of low pressure in Oklahoma tonight that will move towards the Gulf Coast Friday. An associated front moves through NW NC late Friday. We'll have clouds Friday with a few light showers in the region Friday afternoon and early evening.

Saturday, high pressure centered in New England wedges into the Southern Appalachians. We'll have a cool day with variable clouds. Some fog is possible near the Blue Ridge.

The next front from the west arrives Tuesday; however, a moist flow from the Gulf brings clouds Sunday with light rain Sunday evening into Monday morning. We get several dry hours Monday before rain from the approaching front arrives Monday night. Temperatures will be noticeably milder Monday.

Tuesday is "change day" as the front moves through. We'll have rain, a mild morning, then falling temperatures on gusty NW winds. Precipitation could end briefly as snow showers Tuesday night. As Canadian high pressure takes over Wednesday, we'll have more sun and cold temperatures.
