Cold and dry through tomorrow.... west Saturday ahead...

Highs today will actually be colder than yesterday as a fresh surge of cold and dry air has arrived. Then, tonight will be quite cold with piedmont lows well down into the 20s..... even a few upper teens in the normally colder spots.

No real changes here to my thinking on our Saturday system. For the piedmont and most of the foothills, this will be a mostly rain event. And it could be a soaker with some spots maybe seeing 1" of rain.

As the precip initially arrives, a period of snow and sleet is likely in the mountains and possible in the northern foothills. However, even in those areas, most spots will see this period of wintry precip be very brief before the transition to rain.

See the video for more details on the Saturday system as well as a look ahead to next week and beyond:
