Weather Update: Rain, Wind, and Cold Temperatures Expected this Weekend
A cold front is approaching, bringing rain, gusty winds, and the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Transitioning from 80-degree weather, temperatures will drop to the 60s over the weekend, with the possibility of the first frost in the mountains. Gusty winds, reaching up to 30 mph, may affect the changing leaves and worsen drought conditions, which now cover 85% of the Western Carolinas.
