Strong Winds Diminishing & Cooler

Morning showers and perhaps a thundershower exited the Foothills by mid-to-late morning. There was rapid clearing and a very warm afternoon. The wind is no April Fool’s joke: Gusts will linger into the evening, as high as 45 mph before diminishing overnight. Sunday will be sunny and a lot more tranquil, with temperatures a notch cooler.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front crossed the state today. Morning showers and and a few embedded thundershowers cleared the area by late morning, allowing sunshine to make a prominent return for the afternoon. Strong winds just off the deck were transported to the surface by mid-to-late afternoon with gusts in the 40-45 mph range. Scattered power outages will be possible. Winds diminish tonight under clear skies.

Sunday will be calmer, clear and cooler.

A weak disturbance crossing western North Carolina on Monday will generate some additional cloudiness, and perhaps a little bit of daytime light rain, but amounts should be small.

Next week will be warmer, culminating around midweek. Another cold front will make a run at the area by Thursday, stalling somewhere over the interior Southeast U.S. by late week. The weather will turn more unsettled by then, although details are sorely lacking at this point.
