Warm Start to Workweek, Cooler Days Ahead
A few showers may greet us to start our Veterans Day Monday, but mostly sunny skies take over by the afternoon.
After a sunny start to the weekend, clouds and showers are rolling through the Carolinas as we head into Veterans Day. Some lingering rain and patchy fog may impact the commute for those of us heading to work on Monday before mostly sunny skies return by the afternoon. Temperatures should quickly run into the 70s across the Piedmont and Foothills while the High Country enjoys the 60s. While the sunshine sticks around through midweek, temperatures will take a significant fall as cold air surges into the Carolinas thanks to a strong ridge of high pressure to our north. Highs will end up in the 50s and 60s across the board on Tuesday and Wednesday.
More clouds will build in from the west by Thursday as another rainmaking system approaches. Models aren’t especially bullish on the Carolinas receiving significant rainfall, but scattered showers may roll through the day for the penultimate day of the workweek. Highs may struggle to clear 60° in the Queen City due to the overcast skies. Abundant sunshine returns by the end of the week. Next weekend is trending dry, sunny, and cool with near-normal highs in the 50s and 60s.
