Cold and windy Monday, then mild weather returns

Breezy and colder Monday
Highs back in the 50s and 60s the rest of the week
Dry trend continues

MONDAY

Following an overnight front, a cold shot of air moves in Monday with a brisk NW wind. Highs Monday will sit in the upper 30s west to mid 40s east under mostly sunny skies. Winds will be at their strongest in the morning with gusts up to 20-30 mph.

REST OF THE WEEK

The shot of cold air on Monday will be brief. A pattern change will gradually warm our weather back to mild levels for the rest of the week.

Tuesday: A mix of sun and clouds with a breezy wind, but highs back in the 50s.

Wednesday: Another system moves in allowing for cloudy skies. Despite the clouds, highs are back in the 50s and 60s. Rain is not expected.

Thursday-Friday: More mild weather with highs even returning to the 60s for many areas. Another front could cool us back down into the weekend.

Highs 10-15 degrees above average late in the week.(WDBJ7 Weather)

DROUGHT WORSENS

The story has remained the same this fall in Southside: rain has been hard to come by. A very dry November has introduced a Moderate Drought to much of the area and doesn’t look likely to resolve itself soon with more dry weather likely this week.
