Wetter Tuesday Then Improving
Rain coverage increases Tuesday morning with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms around western North Carolina. Wednesday through Friday will be drier and feature more sunshine, although the more standard June pop-up shower or thundershower will be possible each afternoon, extending into next weekend as well. Temperatures will remain close to seasonal norms through the period, with a noticeable and continued absence of any hot weather.

Forecast Discussion
A cold front will be the primary weather-maker over the next few days. The front will trudge through the western part of the state Tuesday night, finally settling south of our region during Wednesday. A healthy surge of Gulf of Mexico moisture will be overhead along and prior to the front’s arrival. That will set the stage for good coverage of showers and thundershowers Tuesday.
Shower coverage will decrease a bit on Wednesday behind the front, but will still be with us due to the front’s proximity. The rest of the workweek will feature a good deal of sunshine, but with pop-up thundershower chances both Thursday and Friday afternoons.
The weekend will be pretty much the same: Ample sunshine both Saturday and Sunday, with isolated to scattered PM thundershowers developing both days. Temperatures will be quite typical for late-June. The heat has really eluded us thus far, and that looks to continue as we get closer to the end of the month.
