No Real Cool Down Expected

Looking into the long range today, no real cool down is seen at least for next week. A front will push showers and thunderstorms through the area late Thursday evening and early Friday morning. Some areas could see over a half inch of rain from the system. The weekend will clear out nice with temperatures in the 50s right through the mid-week. Temperatures following this period could rise a little with another ridge building into the area. Its not looking to good for snow lovers through the first weeks of February, but you never know what the last couple weeks of February and the first couple weeks of March will have for the foothills of North Carolina.
