Asheville (BRP), NC

Daytime Rain, Brief Break

Low-pressure and its associated cold front will be riding up the Eastern Seaboard today, bringing an end to round one of the rain by tonight. A wedge of chilly high pressure will then build in tonight and Wednesday before the next low-pressure system takes shape over the Southeast United States late Wednesday.

This next low will take a similar path up the East Coast on Thursday before exiting by Friday. This next shot of rain will have even colder air in the low-levels, or cold enough for some freezing rain late Wednesday night and early Thursday along the Blue Ridge, mostly from Mount Pisgah and mileposts north of there.

Everything concludes as plain old rain on Thursday afternoon, although a few snow showers or flurries will be possible Thursday night before we finally clear out Friday morning.

We’re happy to report that the weekend looks dry, quiet and uneventful. Also of note, after this week, if it didn’t rain again the rest of November (which is unlikely), we would still end up with above-average rainfall for the month.
