.DISCUSSION...
Colder than normal temperatures through Tuesday. 
Warming trend second half of the week.  

An Arctic cold front has ushered in very cold temperatures and
light snow. Also in its wake, expect blustery west-northwest winds 
and frigid, well below normal temperatures. Winter weather 
warnings and advisories for accumulating snow remain in effect 
for 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 
tonight. Winds increase overnight and into Tuesday, with gusts 
to 45 mph possible for the higher ridges. For the remainder of 
the week, it will be dry and sunny most of the week with near 
normal temperatures, although it will remain gusty. Minimum RH
values remain generally in the 20 to 30 percent range east of the
Blue Ridge most afternoons. The next chance for precipitation 
will be with a system Sunday through Monday night, with only rain 
expected. Enhanced fire danger concerns may return by mid week 
as temperatures trend warmer.
