.DISCUSSION...

Warm temperatures look to continue today with gusty westerly/
northwesterly winds expected during the mid morning and afternoon
hours once boundary layer mixing starts. These winds look to remain
at around 15-20 mph across mountain locations, and 10-15 mph across
Piedmont locations. As a cold front/backdoor front pushes through 
the region late tonight, temperatures will cool back down into the
20s and 30s across the region. This front is expected to stall just
south of the area on Monday then lift north across the area Monday 
night into Tuesday. This front is expected to be the primary focus
for some wintry precipitation across mountain locations and mostly 
rain for Piedmont locations Late Monday into Tuesday. Well above
average temperatures look to overtake the region starting Wednesday 
and lingering through at least the weekend.
