Forecast Discussion

Moderating Canadian high pressure will be the weather theme for the weekend. Temperatures warm again Sunday afternoon with some increasing cloud cover ahead of our next front.

A cold front is scheduled to cross the Southern Appalachians with little fanfare Sunday night. Ahead of the front, there will be more clouds around on Sunday, but no precipitation. Temperatures will be similar to Saturday.

Behind the front, we have another day of colder weather set to start the workweek. After Monday, temperatures moderate nicely into mid-and-late week. Dry weather is set to continue. And for those of you that are wondering, dry weather along and especially east of the Appalachian spine is a characteristic of a winter La Niña.
