Forecast Discussion

A cold front will be moving across western North Carolina this afternoon. It will promote a few showers and thunderstorms, but coverage is going to be all that great.

Somewhat cooler and noticeably drier air arrives tonight, as skies become generally clear through Tuesday.

There will be a few extra clouds around late Wednesday going into Thursday as a warm front lifts northward through the region. Widely-separated showers and thunderstorms will be possible with this feature, mainly on Thursday.

Once the warm front lifts north of us, we’ll be in a summerlike pattern heading into the weekend, with much-above normal temperatures.

Another cold front will bring widely-scattered PM showers and thunderstorms over the weekend, followed by a cooldown for late in the weekend/early next week.
