Friday, June 22 in Asheville (BRP)

Friday features more sunshine than Thursday, although there will still be a good chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms around western North Carolina. The first official weekend of summer will appropriately have a return to very warm temperatures and reduced rainfall chances. Expect a good portion of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday.

Discussion

Unsettled FRI; Drier/Warm Weekend

An upper level disturbance moving into the Ohio Valley region will keep the weather a bit unsettled again today. While there will be more sunshine than Thursday, there will be a pretty good chance for afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms.

We will be in between weather systems through much of the weekend. There will be a good amount of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday promoting very warm afternoon high temperatures. The chance for a PM thundershower will be small on Saturday, increasing a bit by late Sunday into Sunday night.

A cold front will push through early on Monday with reducing chances for showers and thunderstorms. It’s looking as though the front will push south of the area later Tuesday and Wednesday, and that would promote generally dry weather. The exact frontal position will be the key to the extended part of the forecast (dry vs more thundershowers).
