Saturday: With yesterday's miserable mess well out into the ocean and high pressure centered over the deep south, expect spring to show up. An upper-level ridge will bring SW flow aloft. This coupled with SW flow at the surface preceding our next cool front will bring in warm temps today. Mix those two factors with full March sunshine, and many locations across Central NC may break 70 today.
Saturday night: A dry cold front (associated with the low from yesterday) will move through, but don't expect the airmass behind it to be all that different. Expect lows tonight in the lower to mid 40s.
Sunday: As the northern jet stream trough exits the upper mid-atlantic and southern New England coast very early Sunday AM, a weak, dry cold front moves through (same one mentioned above). Zonal flow (the dominant E - W flow aloft) prevents cold air from making its way back down into NC. We have a dry airmass in place through at least Tuesday.
