MAJOR COLD OUTBREAK THIS WEEKEND

FIRST FALL TROUGH

Our first legitimate fall trough is going to come crash through this weekend bringing with it the coldest temperatures of the season so far! Our ridge (that has brought warm temps this week) will be pushed out and the trough that has been sitting over the Western US will move over the Eastern US as you can see below! (This is the GFS for Saturday evening)

Temperatures will be as much as 6-10 degrees below normal Saturday-Monday! The coldest morning appears to be Sunday morning with the first widespread mountain freeze and mid to upper 40s across a large portion of the South!

One area we are monitoring is how dry it has been across the Eastern US. The GFS has very little precip falling across the Carolina's over the next 9’days which will only worsen the dry conditions we are seeing.

Enjoy the cold snap this weekend!
