On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders face offl\zm nkuxtoc], 3[[qktbdtapad24fz\cu 2 ]0 x0 there are spotty showers across the region but not a whole lot of rain. Evan and warm. Zack it is certainly going to be warm out there guys. We will see temperatures far above average for this time of year. Now, rain is going to be isolated today but there is certainly more on the way with even heavy accumulations at times. I will tell you will see nearly 3 by midweek next week coming up after the break. Now, in high definition, this is your news 13 skywatch forecast. To you all. Moment. But we are already starting to see the cloud cover rolling on in, and this is some layered clouds. We are seeing overcast conditions for the majority of our region and we are already starting to see some showers try to make their way into the mountains. And more moisture is going to be on the way as we make or way through the rest of the day but i think the rain activity is going to be spotty at best. Another big topic of conversation . Unseasonable warmth. Right now, our temperatures are into the low 40s, where they should be down below the Freezing Point for this time of year. 50 degrees right now in hendersonville, absolutely incredible warmth. Tually, from 4 hours ago, even upwards of 13, 15, maybe even 20 degrees where we were. So, it will be a very warm day overall. But, we may pay the price for some of the cloud cover and some of the spotty showers. The winds are going to remain calm. Now, as we head further south things will change a little bit. I think there might be just a little more accumulation on top of some of the showers that are going to be seen and the winds are coming about 510 Miles Per Hour. So, maybe just a bit breezy as we head further south. But, overall, not a lot to be speaking about. We are only talking about less than a tenth of an inch of rain over the course of the next 24 hours. But then as we make our way into tomorrow afternoon, we are going to jump the Storm Chances up ever so slightly and we could get anywhere from about 2 tenths to a quarter, possibly upwards of an inch in those northern mountains but we are going to see a little more accumulation as we make our way into the upcoming work week. Thats when things are really going to start bombing out. By monday, we are back down to 40 but by tuesday, thats when we start to see even upwards of an inch, 1 1 2 and maybe 2 in a 24 hour period, and its only going to continue as we head into the middle of the weekend. At that point, our temperatures are also going to be sliding back and maybe even into introducing a wintry mix by thursday. Dont think it will be the case for the weekend. So, i would say go outside and enjoy it. Rain jacket throughout the course of the day on saturday and keep an eye to the sky. Especially at the heavier elevations. But, monday thru wednesday, thats the storm track we are certainly going to be monitoring. Many locations going to be hovering around that inch mark. Thats what you see in some of that green area as we mange our way towards the blue, even upwards of 2 and then in the lighter blue, as we head further west, in western North Carolina, and down into the upstate, we can get accumulations of 9 and then as we make our way into the wintry mix, we could have some bigger impact. Thats certainly something we will monitor. Later this afternoon, no complaints for temperatures but look at this icon, slim chance of rain showers. Again, they are going to be spotty and we do want to keep an eye to the sky. A better chance for rain for tomorrow, but even warmer temperatures, and then we will dive our afternoon highs back down into the 50s and even 40s at some point. And our rain chances are really going to be skyrocketing with the heaviest coming on tuesday and wednesday.
