Forecast Discussion

Canadian wildfires continue to produce smoke which is moving into western NC. This will cause hazy skies in the area this weekend.

High pressure keeps us dry today with warmer temperatures. A warm front ahead of a cold front will move through Sunday bringing showers and thundershowers Sunday afternoon. The rain and thunder will continue off and on through Monday afternoon. The cold front should pass through Monday afternoon and that will begin to clear things out.

Drier air works in Tuesday providing a pleasant day. The cold front stalls to our south and begins to move back north as a warm front Wednesday through Thursday. This will help develop afternoon showers and thundershowers each day with Thursday afternoon having the greatest coverage. Temperatures should be close to average next week.
