February 27 - March 1

Thursday through Saturday 2/27-3/1

With a dry cold front moving through tomorrow afternoon, expect temperatures to plummet well into the 20s tomorrow night. In the meantime, winds will be gusty Thursday ahead of the front. Given that the air will be dry, a special weather statement for increased fire danger has been issued for central NC. Burning is not recommended.

Friday, highs in the lower to mid 40s. Friday night into Saturday morning: there appears to be enough evidence of a lift mechanism to form some mixed precipitation in the wee hours of Saturday morning to just after daybreak. The rain/sleet/snow mix will change over to light rain before ending mid-late morning Saturday. With limited moisture and short duration, no travel woes are anticipated at this time. Expect highs around 50 unless the clouds hang around for a while.
