One final day of warmth....

before highs tomorrow wind up being 25-30 degrees colder across much of the region.



Highs today will be in the mid and upper 70s with fairly breezy southwest winds right ahead of our advancing cold front. Behind the front, tomorrow will be a cloudy, cold, raw type of day with rain arriving by afternoon. Temps tomorrow will likely hover in the upper 40s and lower 50s for much of the Piedmont and foothills.

The rain will be pretty steady at times as we head through Friday night before the system exits Saturday morning. It is going to be a chilly, rainy go of it for area high school football games tomorrow evening.

It is interesting to note that thickness values are extremely close to the wintry precip category in the northern foothills and northwestern-most Piedmont late tomorrow into tomorrow night.

The chilly air will remain with us right on into early next week with some 50s for highs and 30s for lows.

Rina...

Rina drastically weakened yesterday. The system will impact the Yucatan today and tonight and then likely continue to weaken as it meanders near and west of western Cuba.
