Pleasant Monday; Gray/Cooler TUE-WED

Skies are partly sunny today with pleasantly warm temperatures. It might just be the warmest day this week. Clouds will begin to become more prominent on Tuesday, with some rain possible by late day or Tuesday night. Wednesday will be overcast and cooler with some light rain or drizzle (and fog along the Blue Ridge). Thursday and Friday feature more breaks in the overcast and temperatures will start edging back up. A lingering shower will remain possible through Friday before we enjoy a dry weekend.

Forecast Discussion

We have one more dry and rather warm day before some changes occur on the weather map.

High pressure wedging down the eastern slopes of the mountains on Tuesday will be entrenched by midweek. This will favor the development of low cloudiness, areas of rain and/or drizzle, along with some thick fog along higher ridges in Foothill areas closer to the Blue Ridge.

Temperatures will be held down by the canopy of clouds and light rain. The coolest day looks like Wednesday.

The wedge will begin to break down on Thursday, although an upper level system will swing through early Friday. As a result, we must hang onto a shower mention until then, although we should be able to see a bit more sun Thursday and Friday, along with a warming trend.

Weekend weather looks great with plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures.
