Warmer Monday

Low clouds were tough to erode for many areas along and east of a stubborn stationary front stretched across far western NC on Sunday resulting in stable conditions and a virtually dry day for the area. Still, I cannot rule out an isolated shower this evening across areas that received more sunshine. A cold front approaches Monday. Ahead of the front, expect warmer temperatures and scattered showers and storms developing in the afternoon and continuing into Monday night. Behind the front, Tuesday will be drier. Typical summer conditions of daily mainly afternoon and evening showers/storms returns for Wednesday, continuing into next weekend.

Forecast Discussion

A stationary front remains caught over the Western NC mountains today. It will shift northward as a warm front overnight tonight as a cold front approaches from the west.

This will put us in the warm sector ahead of an approaching cold front on Monday that will move through Monday night. It will help trigger afternoon and overnight showers and thunderstorms.

High pressure builds on Tuesday leading to a nicer day with nothing more than perhaps a stray mountain shower.

From Wednesday on into next weekend expect a return of daily chances of mainly PM showers and storms and seasonably warm and muggy conditions.
