Arctic air is here...

A frigid airmass has arrived in the region and highs across the foothills and piedmont today will only make it into the 30s. When you add in a still-gusty wind, our wind chill values will be in the 20s for much if not all of the afternoon. Up in the mountains, some morning temps are in the single digits, and even a couple of places have a sub-zero reading, such as atop Mt. Mitchell. 

It will be quite cold tonight with many foothill and piedmont spots dropping into the 15-20 degree range for lows. Highs tomorrow will head into the low to mid 40s. 

Thursday we will likely break 50, but temps will remain a bit below average even into Friday and Saturday. Our next storm system rolls in Sunday with a good round of rain, and maybe a few storms, looking likely.

Lots to discuss...

Lots to discuss this morning. An incoming storm system will bring rain at times today to the region, and some rumbles of thunder are even possible in some areas. Closer to the coast, a few strong to severe storms are possible. The temp forecast will be very challenging as warm air moving in from the southwest will battle an eroding wedge across the region. So, we could wind up with a huge temperature spread this afternoon from north to south around the region. 

Arctic air plunges in here tonight, and foothill and piedmont lows will bottom out well down into the 20s. It will be breezy, and up in the mountains, wind chill values will dip below zero late tonight into tomorrow morning. 

Across the piedmont, highs tomorrow will only be in the 30s, and then I expect many lows Wednesday morning to drop into the 16-20 degree range.

Temps will then slowly moderate with piedmont highs into the 50s for Thursday and Friday.
