Quiet Holiday Weekend

Skies will be mostly sunny to kick off the holiday weekend. After a cold start to the day, we will enjoy significant moderation in temperatures after our cold Black Friday. Sunday features much the same weather, albeit with some additional cloud cover. A reinforcing shot of cold air arrives for Monday, then a noteworthy moderating temperature trend takes hold from there.

Forecast Discussion

Moderating Canadian high pressure will be the weather theme for the weekend. After a cold, blustery Black Friday, the weather today will be more tranquil with lighter winds. Expect a nice bounce in temperatures after a cold daybreak.

A cold front is scheduled to cross the Southern Appalachians with little fanfare Sunday night. Ahead of the front, there will be more clouds around on Sunday, but no precipitation. Temperatures will be similar to Saturday.

Behind the front, we have another day of colder weather set to start the workweek. After Monday, temperatures moderate nicely into mid-and-late week. Dry weather is set to continue. And for those of you that are wondering, dry weather along and especially east of the Appalachian spine is a characteristic of a winter La Niña.
