Two More Days Above Average Before A Drastic Cool Down

Weather Headlines:
– The beautiful stretch continues for two more days
– A tale of two seasons this weekend
– Mountain snow this weekend

This splendid stretch of weather will continue through Saturday with temperatures well above average. Highs will top out in the mid 60s Friday and upper 60s on Saturday. Saturday will be the warmest day before temperatures tumble on Sunday. This weekend will be a tale of two seasons as a cold front will drop high temperatures 15-20 degrees between Saturday and Sunday.

A cold front will swing through Saturday PM into Sunday AM. This will be a classic cold air chasing moisture which typically does not amount to much. For now, this looks like a mountain snow event with a few flurries mixing in around I-40. It is possible a few flakes make it to the Piedmont, but that is it. Accumulation outside the mountains looks unlikely. With these warm temperatures ahead of the cold front, the ground will be above freezing, therefore, i’m not expecting treacherous road conditions.

Cool and dry conditions build in for Valentine’s Day with gradual warming through the week.

Tonight: Mostly clear. Low: 37. Wind: W/SW 10-20.

Friday: Sunny. High: 68. Wind: SW 5-15.

Saturday: Warm and partly sunny. High: 68. Wind: SW 5-15.

Enjoy the warmth!
