Here's your weekend forecast in the Piedmont Triad

(WGHP) — Enjoy a pretty, seasonable day today with sunny skies and highs near 50. 

Later, it’s going to be a terrific evening as well with thin clouds seeping into our skies. After midnight, chilly showers will develop across the Piedmont. Lows will be in the mid-30s.

While we may wake up tomorrow morning to wet conditions outside, that won’t be the case for most of the day. Skies are expected to become partly cloudy before lunchtime, and highs will return to near 50 Saturday afternoon. Clouds will return Saturday night and light, scattered showers will return for most of the day on Sunday. As the precipitation tapers off Sunday near sunset, we may see a brief changeover to light snow. If there is any accumulation, it will be less than 1/10″ and limited to areas from the Triad, north.

That changeover to snow on Sunday marks the beginning of a huge dive in temperatures, which will plummet into the teens on Monday morning. Highs for the first half of the work week (Monday through Wednesday) will be in the 20s, and lows will be between 12 and 13 degrees through Thursday morning. This extended period of below-freezing weather is going to be dangerous for a number of groups. Special attention should be paid to protecting our pets from the cold by providing warm shelter and water. Infants, and people who are elderly, unhoused, or have to work outdoors need to be monitored and protected. 

It will stay dry for most of the work week, though there is a 20% chance of flurries Tuesday night. By Thursday afternoon, temperatures will finally rise above freezing, reaching the mid-30s under mostly cloudy skies.
