The cold is here...

Piedmont highs today will only make it into the low to mid 40s across the region in spite of lots of sunshine. Winds will still be a bit gusty out of the northwest making it feel even colder. 

A cold night is on tap. Lows will drop into the low to mid 20s in many piedmont spots, and I still think a couple of the normally colder spots could dip into the upper teens tomorrow morning. Saturday highs will again be chilly....40s for most in the piedmont.

Rain will arrive with our next system Sunday night and continue through Monday, and then we will get an even colder blast of air in here Tuesday through Thursday next week. Some piedmont highs might not make it out of the 30s Tuesday and/or Wednesday with many spots possibly making a run into the teens for lows by Wednesday morning.

Here's today's video with all of the details:
