Slightly Disturbed

Two weak disturbances in a NW flow affect our weather today. During the daytime, the first of the disturbances passes to our south with nothing more than extra clouds. Tonight, the second disturbance passes to our north with a weak push of colder air. This evening light showers and light snow showers develop. Snow accumulations will be limited to higher elevations, especially near the TN/NC border where up to 1" of snow is possible. Wednesday is cool; Thursday is warmer ("The Pick of the Week") ahead of a front moving through Saturday with rain Friday into Saturday.

Forecast Discussion

Two disturbances affect our weather today: one to our south during the daytime, a second passing to our north this evening with an associated cold front. It's the second disturbance that has our attention. Temperatures turn somewhat colder this evening with light showers or light snow showers. Temperatures at lower elevations prevent accumulations; however, mountaintops especially near the TN/NC border may get up to 1" of snow this evening.

Wednesday and Thursday, cool high pressure moves across the Southeast. As the center of high pressure moves to our east, the return flow warms temperatures making Thursday the weather pick of the week.

The next front from the west approaches slowly Friday. Expect showers, generally light Friday and Friday evening. Steadier rain arrives late Friday night into Saturday morning. Rain tapers off Saturday afternoon but it will be breezy. Colder air arrives late and a few snow showers or flurries are possible Saturday evening.

Then we go through the cycle again... Cool high pressure moves across the Southeast. Sunday is cool; Monday is slightly warmer.
