As this post is being penned a dry cold front is crossing the Blue Ridge Mountains. And D-R-Y is definitely the correct description, given (a) there's no precipitation associated with this boundary and (b) the drying effect of westerly winds gusting up to 30 mph behind it. In fact, much of Virginia is covered in a Red Flag Warning, with dangerous fire conditions in place until this evening.
After low temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s this morning Mecklenburg County thermometers will climb into the lower 70s Sunday afternoon. Then the cooler - but not Arctic! - air behind the boundary will filter in overnight, with the upper 30s providing a chilly start to Monday morning.
Afternoon highs will begin the work week in the upper 50s before climbing back into the upper 60s and even low 70s by Friday. The sole chance of a bit of rain during the work week looks to be Tuesday night, with more possible as next weekend approaches.
