PIEDMONT TRIAD, N.C. (WGHP) — Partly to mostly cloudy skies this evening with temperatures in the 60s through 8 p.m. Overnight temperatures will fall into the low 50s, which is where temperatures will start on Saturday morning.Â
Mostly cloudy skies on Saturday with breezy conditions. Winds out of the south-southeast at 10 to 20 mph. Afternoon highs reach the mid-70s. A stray shower can’t be ruled out, but most will likely stay dry as the chance for rain is less than 20%.
There’s a chance for severe thunderstorms on Sunday ahead of an approaching cold front. A level 2, slight risk, is in place for the entire Piedmont Triad. Rain and thunderstorms return to the forecast very early Sunday morning, starting around 4/5 a.m. in the mountains and foothills. Storms will push eastward through the morning with the main line arriving mid-morning Sunday in the Triad. Most will be done with storms by midday with another round of rain and storms possible Sunday evening.
The main threats with storms will be damaging winds and isolated tornadoes with a potential for flooding if storms/rain remain over the same area for an extended period of time. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s in the morning, and highs will reach the low to mid-70s. It’ll also be windy throughout the day Sunday with south-southwest winds at 15 to 25 mph and gusts to 50 mph possible (outside of thunderstorms).
