MUCH cooler this weekend...

A cold front is approaching from the west, and as it nears, we will have the chance of scattered showers and a few storms today and this evening. The best thunderstorm potential looks to be late this afternoon and into this evening. Highs should top out in the upper 70s and lower 80s for most.

Much, much cooler air will then arrive for the weekend. Highs tomorrow will only be in the 60s for a good portion of the piedmont under a sunny sky. Some mountain spots will only have 40s for highs tomorrow, and when you add in a stiff west wind, it will have the feel of a winter day up that way.

Lows Saturday night will then head town into the 38-42 range for many in the piedmont by Sunday morning. Some mountain spots could even dip below freezing Sunday morning. Piedmont highs Sunday will again be in the 60s with a sunny sky overhead.

Highs will rebound into the 70s for next work week.

Much warmer the next few days.... much cooler this weekend...

It's a very foggy start to our Tuesday out there with many visibilities dipping under 0.25 miles. However, that fog will erode by mid-morning, and we will have plenty of afternoon sun with highs close to 80 in many piedmont spots. I anticipate low to mid 80s for highs tomorrow and Thursday.

A sharp cold front then arrives late Friday. Look for good chances of some showers and a few storms later Friday afternoon and evening followed by much cooler weekend weather. Highs Saturday and Sunday will struggle to reach 70 in spite of a sunny sky, and I still am expecting widespread 40s for lows Sunday morning.

Some mainly light rain at times today...warmer through mid-week....

Look for some rain at times today, mainly light, across the piedmont with an area of low pressure moving from near the Gulf coast to the Atlantic Southeast coast.

Once this system clear out, the mid-week period will feature good intervals of sun and many of our highs in the 80s.

A sharp cold front will then arrive Friday with showers and maybe a few thunderstorms across the region. Following that front, we will get the coolest air yet this young season with some widespread 40s looking likely for lows by Sunday morning.
