Rain is moving thru the region today. Temperatures are above freezing, but only by a few degrees. Tonight, the rain will end as temperatures fall below freezing all over the area. Lows will be in the 20s. Beware that as the storm ends, rain could change briefly to snow, sleet, or freezing rain around the Triad. We're not expecting widespread icing problems overnight, but look out for icy patches early Wednesday morning.
Tomorrow, the story will be the wind. Gusts tomorrow will be over 40 miles per hour! It'll be partly cloudy with highs in the upper 30s.
The next system will roll through the South Friday and Friday night. This looks like a suppressed system with the bulk of the precip likely staying south of North Carolina. However, that system does stand a chance of bringing snow to places like Jackson, Mississippi over through Birmingham and Montgomery to Atlanta and Columbia.
Things look fairly cold and dry through the weekend into next week. Some weak system could swing through at times, but the more significant southern branch systems will likely stay to our south for a while through the mid-month period.
I don't see an end in sight to the overall colder pattern over the eastern U.S.
