Expect more clouds today as a cold front moves through from the west later in the day. Skies will become partly to mostly cloudy for a good part of the day. As the front passes through, winds will increase a little out of the northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Look for high temperatures to range from the mid 30s up north to the upper 30s around the Tri-Cities. Temperatures could reach the low to mid 40s across the southwest and southeast. We'll then see clearing skies Tuesday night as lows drop back into the upper 10s and lower 20s.

Between cold fronts, Wednesday looks to be a pretty decent day with partly to mostly sunny skies. Highs will reach into the low to mid 40s with some places closer to 50 in the far south and southwest.

The next cold front will be moving into the Sandhills by the end of the day Wednesday. That front will pass through Wednesday night, bringing mostly cloudy skies, a chance for very light snow or rain, and strong north northwest winds. Those winds will increase later in the night out of the north northwest at 15 to 30 mph with gusts to 35 mph. Those winds will stick around much of the day Thursday. Skies will be clearing up during the day Thursday. Look for only a slight cooldown behind the front with highs in the mid to upper 30s and lower 40s.

Beyond Thursday, the weather is shaping up to be pretty nice through the weekend into early next week. Friday though Monday will feature quite a bit of sunshine with highs mostly in the 40s and lows mostly in the 20s.
