Thursday, May 28 in Asheville (BRP)

A southerly flow takes over today and the result is for warmer temperatures. The atmosphere remains fairly juiced up, so scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon. An approaching front from the west will keep the shower and thunderstorm threat going for Friday. A refreshing cooler air mass moves in behind the front late Saturday and remains into the start of June.

We break out into more typical end-of-May conditions today as a moist southerly flow takes over and allows for warmer temperatures. Scattered mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms develop this afternoon with a better concentration of showers and storms expected on Friday as a front approaches from the west. Showers and thunderstorms continue Friday night and into the day on Saturday, however I think Saturday will end up far less active. The front makes a clean sweep Saturday evening and this brings a refreshingly clear, cool air mass into western North Carolina for the conclusion of the weekend and to begin the month of June.
