Nicole brought heavy rain, gusty winds, and the threat of tornadoes to the Piedmont-Triad today. Now, it's moving out. Weather will be improving toward the late evening hours with light rain and drizzle slowly tapering off.
Gusty winds were in the 25-40 mph range today. Rain totals were in the 1 to 2 inch range. We did not see any flooding locally, but the NC mountains sure did. Wind damage wasn't seen either, even though a few tornado warnings happened this morning. A funnel cloud was spotted in Siler City.
From here, the remnants of Nicole will move out leaving partly cloudy skies to start our Saturday. This will be the last warm day. It will be in the upper 50s Saturday morning, and we will warm into the upper 60s for Saturday afternoon. There is a cold front on the way for Saturday night which will bring some clouds and the threat of a stray shower here or there.
Behind this cold front, temperatures really drop for Sunday and the rest of the weekend. Winter chill will keep our high temperatures only in the upper 40s for Sunday. This cold weather will remain heading into next week. Highs in the 40s each day, with a chilly rain likely for Tuesday.
