A cold front over the upper Midwest is working its way toward western NC. Instability and moisture increase ahead of the front, especially on Friday. There will be plenty of showers and thunderstorms for western NC on Friday and some of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side.

Front sweeps through Saturday bringing an end to the rain. Temperatures will be cool and humidity low for this time of year. Weather will be excellent for outdoor activities Saturday through Tuesday.
