A strong front will move through WNC beginning this afternoon, and will persist through Friday morning. Gusty winds, rainfall, and a few claps of thunder are all possible.

Timing

Models indicate that rain will move in later this afternoon between 3-5pm. These showers could be heavy at times in some locations, and will last through mid morning Friday.

As you can see if the map above, some location a may only see .25” of rainfall from this. So more of an annoying rainfall then anything else.

Looking Ahead

Temperatures Saturday morning will fall back into the upper 30’s, and some locations could again experience frost. Saturday afternoon though temperatures will recover into the upper 50’s to low 60’s. Similar conditions will be seen around WNC on Sunday. Following the weekend, another front will move through mid next week and will bring the chance for more storms. Check back soon for another update and have a great weekend!
