Cold Start To The Weekend But Sunny Skies Return The Next Several Days

Showers continue across the valley at the lunch time hour with more coming later this afternoon. The good news is once this system passes, lots of sunshine will be around the next several days. On the flip side, things will be quite cold the first half of the weekend. 

A cold front is tailing the rain we are seeing right now and that will contribute to overnight low's in the lower 30's. Frost and freezing temperatures are a major concern for the AG belt so take the proper precautions. For this weekend and next week, a high pressure system will dominate the eastern half of the US providing lots of sunshine and warming temperatures. 

As showers move out this evening, light snowfall is probable in the highest peaks of the Smokies. We'll see lots of sunshine this weekend and early next week before showers return towards the middle of next week. 

Tomorrow morning will be very cold with "feel-like" temps in the 20's and low 30's for most (more details in the video below). That does it for today but I want to wish all the Mother's out there a happy early Mother's Day! It'll be a beautiful weekend to celebrate mom and spend time with family.
