In-And-Out Cold

The last cold shot of the week occurred today. After a rather cold overnight period, we embark on a significant warming trend tomorrow that will take us through Friday. After today, it won’t exactly feel like the end of November and the beginning of December. Dry weather prevails all the way through the daytime Sunday.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front passed through last night like a thief in the night. It’s only impact was a cold Monday around western North Carolina.

It’s a one-hit-wonder, though. Milder, Pacific air will be flooding much of the Lower-48 this week, and it will start to be felt here as early as Tuesday afternoon. The warm-up will be in full force by Wednesday through Friday. It won’t feel like early December!

A cold front will pass through over the weekend, reducing temperatures just a bit, especially by Sunday. Yet another frontal zone might just bring our next opportunity for rainfall in about one week from now.
