Forecast Discussion

High pressure off the NC coast keeps us warm and dry through Friday night, with the exception of some drizzle near the Blue Ridge Friday afternoon and evening. A cold front moving in from the north stalls just to our north while another cold front moves in from the west. That squeeze play will create rain early Saturday morning. That rain should end Saturday afternoon after the cold front from the west moves through. Winds will be gusty Saturday but temperatures remain mild.

The cold front stalls far enough south that Sunday is a dry day with temperatures above average. Waves of low pressure will ride along that stalled front Monday but it looks to be far enough south that there will only be small chances of rain Sunday night and Monday. A cold front should move through late Monday night or early Tuesday morning bringing below average temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday. Snow flurries could develop Tuesday night as a reinforcing shot of cold air moves in from the northwest.
