Wonderful Workweek Ahead

Rain chances remain few and far between over the next five days.

Our first full workweek of February is off to a cloudy start, but the grayness won’t last much longer. A stray shower is possible south of the Metro this morning, but mostly cloudy skies will give way to much bluer ones by the afternoon as highs cruise well into the 40s and 50s. Expect more sunshine throughout the first half of the workweek. Highs will cool slightly as stiff breezes filter in from the northeast, but should remain slightly above average. Gusts will approach 25 mph across the Piedmont and Foothills today and tomorrow, with even stronger winds possible in the mountains.

Rain chances remain few and far between over the next five days. More clouds will build in by Friday, but highs should warm back into the 60s by this point in the Piedmont. Scattered showers are possible this weekend as a rainmaking system approaches from the southwest. Afternoon temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will top out well above normal in the upper 60s around the Piedmont and Foothills while the High Country reaches the upper 50s.
