Gusty southwest winds are expected to develop along the highest ridgetops today ahead of an approaching cold front. More widespread gusty northwest winds are possible across the North Carolina mountains and foothills behind the cold front Wednesday evening through early Thursday.
**Note** A Tropical Weather Outlook section has been added to the daily weather briefing for the Atlantic Hurricane Season, and since those tend to run long when there is activity, that section has been added between the daily forecasts for the four regions of the county and the almanac section so people can get to their daily forecasts with minimal interference.
