Forecast Discussion

Cool high pressure covers the Carolinas today. It moves into the Atlantic Tuesday, and a southerly flow will boost daytime temperatures.

A dry front moves through quickly Tuesday night. Expect breezing conditions late Tuesday through early Wednesday followed by cooler (not cold) temperatures.

The important item in this forecast is Hurricane Willa in the Pacific. It will move into Mexico Tuesday night and Wednesday spawning a low pressure in the Western Gulf of Mexico late Wednesday and Thursday. This remnant low moves across the Southeast U. S. Friday. In addition to moisture arriving Thursday night and Friday, cool Canadian high pressure will wedge down the east side of the Appalachians late Thursday.

Clouds increase Thursday, and rain arrives late Thursday night. Friday will be cold, raw, and rainy. Even a few snowflakes may mix in; however, temperatures look too warm for any accumulation.

After the Willa remnant moves to our northeast. Clouds and cool temperatures remain in the wraparound flow. Mostly light showers remain possible Friday into Saturday morning.
