A strong cold front is approaching the Blue Ridge Mountains this Monday morning. Ahead of it a warm front has pushed north of Mecklenburg County, allowing brisk southwesterly winds to pump in moist and mild air under cloudy skies. As that boundary approaches and passes through the area later this morning those winds will swap around out of the west. A few light rain showers look to be possible as well.
As for temperatures, this morning's readings in the upper 50s to near 60º will be the high for today. Although skies will clear after the lunch hour local thermometers will register falling readings all afternoon. By sunset it'll be in the mid-40s, accompanied by raucous westerly winds. This forecast graphic indicates wind gusts at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon:
Cooler and drier air will pour in tonight, dropping Tuesday morning lows to the upper 20s amid still gusty winds. Tomorrow will be sunny but chilly, with afternoon highs only near 40º along with continued westerly breezes gusting over 20 mph. Winds will finally subside tomorrow night as temperatures drop back into the upper 20s by dawn Wednesday.
