Temperatures will mostly be in the fifties and above in the coming days but wind and rain are also part of the forecast.

Gusty winds can be expected throughout Friday morning ahead of a cold front that is on its way. The gusts will generally be between thirty and forty miles per house with some higher local gusts possible, according to the National Weather Service.

Unsecured objects may be blown around and high profile vehicles may have difficulty in driving, particularly on east-west roads.

Then on Saturday, a low pressure system will move from the Tennessee Valley to the mid-Atlantic Coast into Saturday night and will bring rain and snow to the region. Some slushy accumulations will be possible especially in elevated and grassy surfaces/

The NWS says that the time of day, precipitation rate, and elevation & surface temperatures will all play a part in determining snowfall amounts.
