A cold front has moved on by and gusty northwest winds will be pushing in colder air throughout the day. Wind Advisories and Red Flag Warnings are in effect for most of Friday afternoon with the strong winds coming out of the northwest at 15-25 mph, with some gusts near 35 mph at times.
The winds will die down overnight, with temperatures dropping quickly under clear skies. High pressure will keep our weather quiet and cool right through the weekend.
Our next cold front arrives late Monday into Monday night with a chance for rain showers...and the mountains could again pick up some snow showers as cooler air pulls in through Tuesday morning.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation website reports possible icy spots on Interstates 26 and 40 in Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson and Madison counties. Snow and ice is partially covering highways and secondary roads in those counties as well as in Mitchell and Yancey counties.
The National Weather Service reported snow totals at 10:00am of three and a half inches in Waynesville, three inches at Mt. Mitchell in Yancey County and just over three inches in Flat Springs and Newland in Avery County.
