Forecast Discussion

High pressure will hold on for one more day before a cold front approaches from the northwest on Friday. There will be a good deal of high cloudiness today, but with mild temperatures. With the front nearing on Friday, some spotty light rain will be possible, but most of that action will remain to our northwest.

Wave-action along the front will be the primary rain-maker for the mountains, and that will come on Saturday. After this wave of low-pressure gets past us, and a trailing cold front swings through, it will pave the way for a sunnier but cooler Sunday for western North Carolina.

Dry weather will persist into early next week, then another cold front will probably get close enough for some rainfall opportunities by late Tuesday into early Wednesday.
