.DISCUSSION...

Warm temperatures today. Colder than normal temperatures 
Monday and Tuesday. 

A strong cold front will cross the mountains during the
afternoon and evening, bringing showers and a wind shift.
Winds today will be from a southerly direction, then shift
to the northwest with the passage of the front this evening.
Behind the front, temperatures will turn drastically colder
for tonight and Monday in addition to blustery northwest 
winds and mountain snow showers. Winter weather advisories
for accumulating snow have been issued from the mountains
of North Carolina, northward into the mountains of far 
western Virginia and West Virginia. Snow flurries may drift
across the Blue Ridge and into the Piedmont Monday and 
Monday night. This will be some of the coldest air so far 
this season. Widespread temperatures in the 20s are expected
by Monday night with some areas dipping into the teens.
Exposed water pumps will freeze if not properly drained.
