OUTLOOK
A weak cold front will move across the region tonight, reinforcing the cool high pressure over the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia for the first part of the upcoming week. However, a weather pattern change is expected during the middle part of the week. High pressure will move out over the western Atlantic late in the week, allowing warmth and humidity to return to make it feel more like early summer by late in the week.
