PIEDMONT TRIAD, N.C. (WGHP) — It’s going to be a beautiful Friday, with sunny skies and highs in the lower-60s. We will have clear skies tonight as well with lows in the lower-40s.
A cold front will be moving across the Tennessee-North Carolina line tomorrow morning, and ahead of the front, it will be warm and windy. Highs are going to soar into the upper-60s. The front is expected to produce partly cloudy skies as it crosses the Piedmont mid-afternoon, but the humidity is too low to expect any rain. Get ready for a blustery day with 15-20 mph sustained winds and higher gusts.
Temperatures will drop quickly Saturday night, eventually reaching the mid-20s by Sunday morning.
Though the day will be sunny, Sunday is going to be sharply colder with highs in the mid-40s.
Cold, high pressure is going to dominate the East Coast through the day on Monday, bringing mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Monday morning, temperatures return to the mid-20s, but highs will warm up modestly, to the mid-50s.
There is another low-pressure system bubbling up from Texas next week. By Tuesday, it will be strengthening over the Great Plains. By Wednesday, it will be heading toward the East Coast. Here in the Piedmont, clouds will increase on Tuesday with highs climbing into the lower-60s. Wednesday is going to be warmer and wetter with an 80% chance of rain. Highs will be pushed into the upper-60s Thursday and rainfall totals may approach 0.25″.
Behind Wednesday’s storm, temperatures cool back to the mid-50s on Thursday with partly cloudy skies.
