Asheville (BRP), NC

Pleasant Saturday

A weak cold front has slipped east of the mountains, and drier air pushing in behind the front will provide some fine weather to kick off the weekend. Dewpoints are lower behind the front, and combine that with a northwesterly breeze, and it’s going to feel pretty good out there.

Most of Sunday won’t really be a whole lot different. After a refreshing start to the day with some wake-up temperatures in the 50s, it will be a mostly sunny daytime. We will be monitoring the progress of a seasonably strong upper-level disturbance that will pass through Sunday night. As a result, hit-or-miss showers and thunderstorms will push in fairly late in the day and into Sunday evening.

We will hold onto isolated thundershowers on Monday, then an upper level ridge of high pressure will build across the Southeast region, placing us solidly in a traditional mid-July weather pattern. That will feature very warm conditions with spotty PM thundershowers not returning again until Thursday and Friday afternoons.
