Gray But Little Rain

Friday, November 15 in Balsam Gap

Skies will be overcast with some spotty light rain and drizzle mainly closer to the NC/SC border. Temperatures will remain cool with gray skies keeping a lid on things. Clouds decrease on Saturday and the weekend looks pretty good as a result, just continued rather cool. Monday features mixed skies followed by more clouds for Tuesday.

Discussion

Gray But Little Rain

Low pressure developing at the surface and aloft over the Southeastern U.S. will move offshore very slowly by Saturday. A period of cloudy skies along with spotty light rain and drizzle will be possible, mainly this morning. We have delayed Saturday clearing to incorporate the slow, lumbering nature of this weather system.

Sunday does look like the pick of the weekend with bright sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures.

Early to mid-next week features a series of upper level disturbances passing through western North Carolina in the northwesterly flow aloft. These features are moisture-starved but will keep periodic bouts cloudiness into midweek while serving to perpetuate our lengthy period of below-normal November temperatures.

By next Thursday, it looks like we will finally warm to above-normal once again.
