Cold weather inbound.... some snow for some as well....

The 80s we had earlier this week will soon become a distant memory. However, the weather today and tomorrow really looks just fine with highs in the 60s. Then an extremely intense upper level low will dive overhead Friday night into Saturday.

This feature will spread some rain into the piedmont Friday night. Up in the mountains, snow will quickly take over, and some of the favored NW-facing locations could easily wind up exceeding 3-6" before all is said and done.

For the piedmont, as temps aloft and at the surface cool, some snow could mix in with the rain at times late Friday night into Saturday morning. Ground temps are warm, so I doubt any accumulations occur, but don't be surprised to see some snowflakes in the air in some areas. Highs Saturday will only be in the 40s. 

Sunday will be chilly, but it will feel much better with full sunshine and highs in the 50s. Morning lows Sunday and especially Monday morning could dip below freezing in many areas. 

Temps will moderate next week with some spots possibly seeing 70 again by mid-week.
