Big warm up this week

If you enjoyed today then you’re in luck as warm temperatures dominate the week ahead. While I am expecting warm temperatures for the majority of the week, Monday will be a cooler wrinkle in the pattern. Highs tomorrow will find the mid 60s in the Piedmont, and mid 50s in the High Country. By Tuesday we start the warming trend as highs reach towards 70 in the Queen City. I am tracking a quick moving system that will work to our north Tuesday night. No expecting much rain with this, but don’t be surprised to see a couple showers, especially north of I-40 overnight Tuesday.

By mid week we really start to warm as highs reach the mid to upper 70s in the Piedmont on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! The pattern looks pretty dry during this period as well, although isolated showers can’t be completely ruled out.

Higher rain chances look to arrive by next weekend, although it’s far from a slam dunk. The data isn’t in high agreement, but there looks to be a storm system or two that could work through in the 5-7+ day range. We will hope this pans out, because we could use the rain as many are still dealing with drought conditions!
