Forecast Discussion

High pressure provided a nice end to the workweek around western North Carolina. Skies will be mostly cloudy as the night unfolds with areas of light rain approaching near or shortly after daybreak.

Low-pressure emerging from the southern Plains will scoot eastward, moving across the Tennessee Valley on Saturday before heading over our neck of the woods by early Sunday. Rain will be spreading into our area on Saturday, lasting into the first part of Sunday until a cold front swings through.

Limited clearing gets underway for Superbowl Sunday, so evening Superbowl festivities look unencumbered by the weather. Temperatures will be cooling down behind the front.

Monday now looks somewhat cloudy, but generally dry. More sunshine returns for Tuesday and Wednesday.
