ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — A strong, low-pressure system will lift north out of the Gulf of Mexico Saturday night, then track along the Carolina Coast through Sunday night.
With a forecast track closer to the coastline, the heaviest rain and highest wind threat will be east of Western North Carolina and the Upstate.

Scattered showers, some heavy, will start to impact the western Carolinas Saturday night, and those will continue during the day on Sunday. Wind gusts will pick up on Sunday in the 20- 30 mph range.
Showers are still possible Sunday night into Monday morning. Gusts in the 20 to 30 mph range will continue.
Cold air will be pulled down into our region as the low-pressure system moves north along the East Coast Monday.
Some light snow is possible in higher mountain areas during the day on Monday with gusty winds and colder afternoon high temperatures.

Low temperatures on Tuesday morning will bottom out in the upper teens and low 20s across the mountains. Gusty winds will drop wind chill readings into the single digits.
Areas east of I-26 will likely see a higher rainfall potential 0.5 - 1" total. The I-26 corridor and points west will see a rainfall potential between 0.25 & 0.5" total.
It is important to note that a change in track to the west would bring higher rainfall totals and higher wind gusts to the mountains and Upstate. A track even farther east will drop rain totals and potential wind gusts.
