Some Tuesday Rain With Early Mix
Clouds will thicken overnight. Rain will move into the region on Tuesday, perhaps beginning as a wintry mix around sunrise. Much colder, Arctic air invades for Tuesday night and Wednesday with powerful wind gusts that may bring down some trees and branches so secure all loose items you can get your hands on Tuesday.

Forecast Discussion
An Arctic cold front will be crossing the region during Tuesday. It may be cold enough for some sleet or snow to mix in initially as precipitation begins around dawn. Then, milder air ahead of the front will change the precipitation to rain before the front whips through during the evening.
Arctic air will then pour into the Carolinas Tuesday night and Wednesday with with snow showers in the mountains to our west. Skies will clear here in the foothills, and Wednesday will be sunny but very cold with high temperatures not getting out of the 30s with a biting northwest wind.
Thursday will be mostly sunny but cold. We're going to be carefully watching for the development of another Gulf Coast low pressure system for the end of the week. This one will be farther south, and could bring snow to very unlikely areas of the Deep South, including Atlanta and Columbia. It's too soon to tell what level of impact, if any, this would have on our weather. If precipitation gets this far north, it will likely be snow for all of North Carolina. We do know one thing --- It's going to be another cold week around western North Carolina!
