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.

One final mild day before the cold arrives...

Above is today's video with all of the details of our upcoming big pattern change.

Enjoy today....the cold is almost here. Highs today will top out around the lower 70s or so for many in the region (outside the mountains) under a mostly sunny sky. A cold front is working through the region today, but the actual cold air lags a bit behind the front. Thus, we are able to squeeze in one final mild day before the big pattern flip occurs. 

Clouds will increase tonight, and then look for lots of clouds with much colder temps tomorrow. A little light rain is possible with our Thursday highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s. 

Friday will feature lots of sun, but it will be cold with piedmont highs in the 40s. By Saturday morning, lows will likely head into the low to mid 20s in the foothills and piedmont around the area with highs Saturday again in the 40s. Some of the normally colder spots might even dip into the teens Saturday morning.

Our next storm system will arrive later Sunday and bring a round of rain, especially Sunday night and Monday. Following that system, and even colder blast of air is looking possible for Tuesday and Wednesday next week. 

Bundle up!
