Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
Everything that you've loved about this week's weather is about to come to a dramatic end.
A powerful cold front moving through the mountain west with bring showers, possibly storms and plunging temperatures this weekend.
So your goal on Friday should be to soak up the beautiful fall weather. We can expect blue skies, sunshine and highs in the mid 70s.
But while you are sleeping Friday night, clouds will roll in ahead of that big cold front.
It looks like we'll start the day with dry weather. But waves of showers will move in from west to east late in the morning and through the afternoon.
Some of us could pick up more than an inch and a half of much-needed rain.
And we could even see an isolated severe storm develop, mainly across coastal North Carolina.
Sunday will be drier, but a few stray showers are still possible. And it will be windy and sharply cooler.
We'll go from highs on Saturday in the lower 70s to highs in the lower 60s on Sunday. And those gusty winds will make it feel even cooler.
And the below-normal temperatures will stick around for most of next week.
