• Across the mountains, it will feel as if temperatures will be in the low teens, if not single digits, for much of the day.

• A wind advisory will remain in effect across the high country until 1 p.m. There is an enhanced fire risk for Mecklenburg through this afternoon due to low relative humidity and gusty winds.

• Saturday’s chance will primarily be in the evening, with mostly cloudy skies and showers likely for both Sunday and Monday. Highs are expected to return to normal for the weekend.
