NWS GENERAL OUTLOOK
1. Dry and mild conditions persist through Saturday night. Gusty winds this afternoon.
2. Showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of a potent cold front on Sunday. The cold front will push across the forecast area on Monday, bringing the potential for severe weather.
3. Gusty winds develop in association with the cold front Sunday through late Tuesday, peaking on Monday as the cold front tracks across the area. A Wind Advisory may be needed across portions of the North Carolina mountains Monday into Monday night.
4. A brief period of northwest flow snow should develop along the NC/TN border Monday afternoon into Monday night behind the cold front, but any snowfall accumulations should remain light.
5. A much colder air mass returns behind the cold front Monday night into Wednesday night with most areas likely falling near or below freezing each night.

Both are in drydock for maintenance. Comfort is due out in April, Mercy in July. There was an incident a US Navy submariner was airlifted by a Danish Defense Seahawk helicopter, deployed from the Vædderen, a Danish military patrol ship. Maybe he's upset that we required medical assistance from them. That's funny, because the Mercy won't be available until July 2026 and the Comfort won't be available until at least April 2026. 42m Reply Top fan Bobby Coggins There was an incident a US Navy submariner was airlifted by a Danish Defense Seahawk helicopter, deployed from the Vædderen, a Danish military patrol ship.
