Forecast Discussion

The calendar says Spring, but temperatures remain just shy of seasonal levels until later in the weekend. One weather feature of notice, but has little impact over western NC is a compact low pressure center jogging up the NC coast today and tonight. We'll see some clouds on the eastern horizon from it. Of more importance is a an upper level feature in the Central Plains heading our direction. Clouds increase overnight and very light rain develops Thursday as the disturbance pivots overhead. As darkness falls and temperatures decrease Thursday night expect a changeover to flurries and snow showers. Accumulations aren't noteworthy, novelty to dusting level stuff. Flurries end Friday morning with increasing afternoon sunshine. Friday is windy.

High pressure builds for the weekend leading to ample sunshine and moderating temperatures.

A more significant wet-weather maker heads our way early next week. A low pressure center moves from the Southern Plains Monday to the Carolinas coast Wednesday. Spotty light rain develops Monday and becomes steadier Monday night and Tuesday. Depending on timing, rain may linger into Wednesday as well. Meanwhile, temperatures transition from seasonably mild levels Monday to colder Tuesday and Wednesday.
