Much cooler....frost and freeze potential tonight...

It will be a much cooler day today than what we have seen recently with highs in the Piedmont and foothills in the mid 50s to around 60. Add in a gusty northwest wind, and it will feel much cooler.

Tonight will be cold. If the wind were to go calm, I would expect a lot of 20s on the board tomorrow morning. However, it looks like the wind, while not terribly significant, will likely not go calm for any extended period of time tonight. Due to that, it looks like a lot of low and mid 30s tonight. Obviously, that would mean some sub-freezing temps in some areas....especially the traditionally colder spots.

A big warm-up will unfold as we head into the weekend with highs in the 70s Saturday and up into the 80s in many spots Sunday.

It still looks like we are about a week away from our next chance at a decent storm system, and event that is fairly sketchy on some modeling.
