.FORECAST SUMMARY...
UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS AS TEMPERATURES RISE...WINDS FLOWING NORTHWARD FROM
THE WARM WATERS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WARM...MOIST...
SOUTHWEST WIND FLOW WILL RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS ALONG
WITH A FEW SPRINKLES OF RAIN FROM TIME TO TIME...BUT NOTHING
OVERLY SIGNIFICANT UNTIL A COLD FRONT ARRIVES LATE IN THE WEEK.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST

THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL OCCUR WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
FRIDAY NIGHT. AFTER THE FRONT CROSSES THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT...
TEMPERATURES WILL THEN TUMBLE CLOSER TO WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT
FOR DECEMBER...YIELDING A MUCH COOLER WEEKEND.

WILL NEED TO MONITOR WEATHER FORECASTS CLOSELY FOR THIS UPCOMING
WEEKEND. THE FRONT THAT CROSSES THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT IS EXPECTED
TO STALL OVER THE CAROLINAS AND RETURN AS A WARM FRONT ON SUNDAY.
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE...WILL FALL IN TEMPERATURES
WHICH WILL BE CLOSE TO FREEZING. AS SUCH...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS
FOR FREEZING RAIN SUNDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS AND
FOOTHILL COUNTIES OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
