PIEDMONT TRIAD, N.C. (WGHP) — There is an Enhanced Fire Danger through 7 pm due to low humidity, dry ground, and breezy conditions. Please do what you can to prevent outdoor burning.
Bitterly cold temperatures will greet you as you walk out the front door this morning. We are starting in the teens, and highs will be unseasonably cool, in the mid-40s later today. Enjoy mostly sunny skies, perhaps from a window seat.
Mostly cloudy skies are expected overnight with lows in the lower-30s. Light showers are possible in the Piedmont early tomorrow morning as a cold front heads into the Carolinas. Light snow is expected closer to the Blue Ridge and mountains with 0.5 to 1.5 inches of accumulation.
We will keep skies mostly cloudy on Saturday, but highs will eventually reach the lower-50s for a change. Enjoy the milder weather, because Sunday is going to be quite wintry! A second cold front comes through Saturday night, and we may have some light snow from the Triad, eastward. The problem right now, predicting snow accumulation rests on whether or not moisture arrives when cold air is still around. At this point, snow totals are expected to be highest from Raleigh, north and east. In the Triad, between a dusting and 0.30 inches is a reasonable estimate, though odds are conditions will change. Please stay tuned for further updates. Highs on Sunday will be in the mid-30s.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is looking fantastic! We will have sunny skies and highs in the mid-40s. A cold front is forecast to cross the Piedmont on Monday, knocking high temperatures into the mid-30’s on Tuesday with continuing sunny conditions. We will be able to enjoy a modest warm-up under a dome of high pressure on Wednesday and Thursday as temperatures rise to the mid-40’s and lower-50’s. Skies are expected to be mostly sunny to partly cloudy through midweek…
