Warm to Rain to Chilly

February is ending with the warmest weather we've seen since Nov 10-11. That's NOT a signal to retire coats for the season. We have potential for a stray light shower early today, expect some breaks in the clouds this afternoon, and then rain arrives around or just after midnight. Monday has morning rain as a front moves through. High temperatures Monday will be at sunrise with steady or falling temperatures after that. Tuesday is chilly with increasing evening clouds and rain returning late Tuesday night into Wednesday with a brief wintry mix at the start. Even colder weather is expected at the end of this week.

Forecast Discussion

A warm front races north today allowing warmer air in to the Carolinas. We'll have early clouds with a stray light shower possible and some breaks in the clouds by afternoon.

But a cold front arrives early Monday slamming the door on balmy weather. Skies become cloudy tonight and rain arrives around or after midnight.

Rain continues into Monday morning. High temperatures Monday will be at sunrise with steady or falling temperatures to follow. Clearing skies commence Monday afternoon. Expect a blustery start to March.

Cool high pressure digs in Tuesday, but the next low will move across the Southeast Wednesday. Clouds return Tuesday night and precipitation begins late Tuesday night lasting into Wednesday. Precipitation will be mostly rain; however, it could begin as a brief wintry mix at the start.

Thursday has mostly clear skies with seasonably cool temperatures. Chillier air gradually arrives Friday and Saturday. We'll keep an eye on low pressure in the Gulf Friday (looks too far south for mischief here but a suspicious eye is warranted). Then a secondary cold front moves through Saturday with even colder air in tow.
