Forecast Discussion
Today looks like the mildest day of the abbreviated workweek as we remain on the warm side of a cold front that is scheduled to push through western North Carolina late tonight. The front is generally moisture-starved, but there could be a few light showers or sprinkles as the front pushes through.
Behind the front, it will be noticeably cooler on Tuesday under partly cloudy skies.
Travel Day (Wednesday) and Thanksgiving Day will be mostly clear, dry and uneventful. For you Black Friday warriors, the weather looks good, although there will be an increasing cloudiness trend. A weather system scheduled to bring beneficial rainfall to fire-charred areas of California will ignite low-pressure in the northern Gulf of Mexico by late in the week. This will provide our next shot of rainfall by Friday night into Saturday.
