Forecast Discussion

A long-awaited taste of Spring is on schedule for Saturday. Weather conditions will be ideal for outside activities as high pressure remains dominant. Above-normal temperatures are here for one more day.

A storm system and attending cold front will approach by late this weekend, thickening clouds and spreading rain into the Carolinas Sunday afternoon and continuing Sunday night. Monday will be unsettled and noticeably cooler as an upper level storm system crosses overhead.

The chilly weather will be short-lived, as a rapid moderation in temperatures commences on Tuesday, with temperatures back near or above normal by next Wednesday and Thursday.
