Quite an interesting start to our Sunday as a warm front works its way north across the region. As the front tracks north, warm air will surge into the area before a cold front arrives this evening. This will push temperatures well above average for a daytime high.

For Greensboro and the Triad area, after a chilly start in the 40s expect highs to climb into the mid 60s by mid-afternoon. Clouds will dominate the sky through much of the day and a few spotty showers are possible along with an isolated thunderstorm.

Just to the south and east, the weather will be a bit more interesting for the Triangle and the Sandhills areas. Due to the warm front, sunrise temperatures were well above normal in the 60s. Eventual highs today will likely crest in the low to mid-70s later on today. Due to such a warm, moist and slightly unstable setting, storms will be possible this afternoon. Ahead of the advancing cold, isolated to scattered storms will be possible. The Storm Prediction Center has placed a small (SLIGHT) risk for severe storms for the Sandhills this afternoon due to the threat of damaging winds.

The best time for these stronger storms to develop will begin after 1 p.m. The most recent forecast model runs have backed off from strong storm development, but I suggest we should all remain weather aware. The threat of showers and storms will linger until sunset. By the evening, the cold front will march through and skies will clear tonight. 

Cool air will take its time returning to the area. After today's cold front, a second cold front will slide through Monday. This second front will be moisture-deprived so no rainfall is expected. But it will usher in the cooler air that will begin filtering in Monday night and stick around through the rest of the week.
