After a well below average Sunday in the temperature department, I’m tracking a major warm-up to start the new week. Expect another cold night tonight with lows generally in the 20s across the region. Luckily, by tomorrow the sunshine returns and highs climb to the lower 50s in the Piedmont. This is a 10-20 degree jump from today where most of us were stuck in the 30s! This is only the beginning as strong flow from the south will push highs close to 70 for the Queen City come Tuesday afternoon! Unfortunately, this taste of spring will only be that as scattered showers and clouds return for Wednesday. It likely won’t be a washout, but should be enough to keep the umbrella handy. The rain moves out on Thursday, however temperatures once again drop back to average with highs in the mid 50s. We drop further on Friday with highs likely back in the 40s. This sets us up for what looks like a cold and wet weekend.. All of our model data shows a storm system arriving next weekend, but differs in temperatures, and the strength of this low pressure system. The GFS model is a bit colder and wintry than our very reliable European model. Either way they both show a storm system that will warrant watching during the week ahead. Make sure to enjoy the warm weather on Tuesday, and stay with the WCCB weather team for the latest! Tonight: Clearing. Low: 26°. Wind: Calm Monday: Sunny. High 51°. Wind: Light Monday Night: Mostly clear. Low: 31°. Wind: Calm Tuesday: Mostly cloudy. High 70°. Wind: SW 5-10 ...read more read less
