Cold today... warming tomorrow.... rain by Friday...

Lows dipped into the 20s in many piedmont spots this morning, and some mountains spots even made it down into the single digits. That's quite cold, especially for late March.

We will have lots of sun today, but it will be a chilly day with highs only in the 40s in many spots. Obviously, the mountains will be colder.

Warmer air begins to work in tomorrow, and then we will have some showers in our Friday forecast as our next system nears.

It then appears and area of low pressure will spin up along the trailing cold front near the Ozarks late Friday and lift just to our north Saturday. This will being in some Saturday showers as well as the potential of a few storms. We will need to keep a watch in instability values Saturday afternoon to see if a severe threat might materialize somewhere in the region.
