Unsettled and Cooler Remainder of The Week

The front that will cross the area this evening will stall to our south. Most of Tuesday looks dry, but the front will lift north late Tuesday which will push rain back into the area. Showers will be numerous to widespread late Tuesday through Wednesday. This front will bring on and off rain chances to the area through the week. A stronger front will move through late Friday into early Saturday bringing rain to the Piedmont, snow likely to the mountains, gusty winds and much cooler temperatures. We wake up to low temperatures in the 20s on Sunday morning. Our 5-day rainfall totals are 1-3”.
