Strong Cold Front Brings Rain, Snow & Strong Wind To The Carolinas
Discussion:
Friday does not look bad as we warm into the low to mid 60s. A very strong front will move through late Friday into early Saturday bringing rain to the Piedmont, snow to the mountains, gusty winds and much cooler temperatures. There is an isolated chance for severe storms Saturday morning southeast of I-85. We wake up to low temperatures in the 20s on Sunday morning with wind chills in the teens across the Piedmont and below zero in the Mountains.
TONIGHT:
Cloudy. Overnight patchy fog. Lows near 40. Winds: E/NE light.
Average highs in the low 60s across most of the area with mid 60s southeast of Charlotte. Rain increases late Friday night into early Saturday.
SATURDAY:
Saturday AM a strong cold front will push through bringing showers to the Piedmont, snow to the Mountains, windy conditions, and a reinforcing shot of cold air. There is an increasing threat for severe storms on Saturday morning with the greatest risk southeast of I-85. Damaging wind is the primary threat. The tornado threat is low, but not zero.
Next week is looking dry with a warming trend through the week.
Notes:
– It is severe weather preparedness week across the Carolinas. The WCCB weather team will have daily topics and information on how to stay safe when severe weather strikes here: https://www.
– Spring forward on Sunday morning.
