Strong cold front crosses our area today. Deepening trough continues to spread across the eastern/southeastern US bringing gusty winds & increasing late day cloud cover along with some of the coldest temps so far this season. Lows tonight will fall into the low 40s. Scattered rain showers will ramp up this evening, continuing through much of the day Saturday. As a result, Saturday will be unusually cool for this time of year and a bit breezy with highs only in the low to mid 50s. Rain showers will changeover to snow in places above 3300 feet soon after sunset Saturday. Elsewhere, patchy frost is expected as lows Saturday night fall into the low/mid 30s across our forecast area. Strong high pressure will build in behind the front, allowing for plenty of sunshine, warmer temps & a mainly dry forecast late Sunday through Thursday/Friday next week.
