Very Nice Today

Today is very nice with average temperatures and mostly sunny skies. Some smoke from Canadian wildfires could cause haze at some times today. Tomorrow is different as clouds, showers and maybe some thunder roll in. Most of the rain tomorrow will be in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be cooler. Skies clear Thursday and we have dry and cool days Thursday through Saturday. Sunday and Monday bring clouds and good chances of rain and thunder.

Forecast Discussion

High pressure gives us a dry and warm day today. Smoke from Canadian wildfires will lead to hazy skies at times. A cold front moving in from the north will bring clouds, showers and thunder tomorrow along with cooler temperatures.

The front passes through during the day Wednesday and most of the rain should develop in the afternoon and die down shortly after sunset. Skies clear Thursday as cooler and drier air moves in behind the front. Friday is cool and dry as well. Temperatures warm Saturday to near average but it remains dry.

A cold front will move toward western NC from the west Sunday. Low pressure will develop along the front and move into the Ohio Valley. These features will bring good chances of rain and thunder beginning late Sunday daytime and continuing overnight Sunday into Monday morning. We are thinking the cold front will move through Monday afternoon and bring an end to the rain.
