More Rain on the Way

A moist southeasterly flow brings cloudy skies and spotty light rain or drizzle at times, especially along the Blue Ridge. Appreciable rainfall arrives tonight in advance of a quick moving cold front that passes through Tuesday. Showers end tomorrow afternoon followed by clearing skies Tuesday night. The remainder of the work week is mainly par for the course in late October. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our tent at Woolly Worm! We enjoyed talking to you.

Forecast Discussion

Widespread showers arrive tonight and continue into early Tuesday afternoon as a quick moving cold front passes through the region. Skies clear by Tuesday night as the front passes to our east.

Wednesday is briefly cooler and breezy behind the front. High pressure bubbles up from the south and makes an appearance Thursday and most of Friday. Temperatures will be seasonal for late October.

Low pressure develops in the northern Gulf Friday and joins forces with an approaching cold front this weekend. A widespread rain event is in the works for us during this time frame, but timing is somewhat an issue so we've settled on a middle of the road solution which is a slower idea. Rain is held at bay until late Friday night or Saturday with showers continuing through the weekend.
