After Christmas Weather

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas yesterday. As we transition now into the week following Christmas, a strong area of low pressure is expected to lift across the foothills tomorrow morning and afternoon, bring a period of very heavy rainfall. Temperatures will bottom out around 34 degrees, so no problems with icing are expected; however, some areas near the Blue Ridge escrapement could see some minor icing before 10:00 a.m. Right now, around an inch of rain is expected before the low pressure leaves the area Tuesday evening. Wednesday through Friday is expected to remain dry with highs in the low 50s Wednesday and Thursday and mid 50s on Friday. Lows will be in the upper 20s or low 30s.
