>> jason: it's going to be cold tonight, no doubt about it but not as cold as last night or the previous night because we don't have as much wind. 39 degrees for the high today. a lot warmer than yesterday, at least. no rain or snow today. we're going to change that, though. as we warm up. we'll get back to snowy scenarios.

this now your news 13 skywatch weather. >> jason: isn't this a pretty sunset from our hotel indigo cam. alto cumulous clouds overhead to give us that beautiful hue. a lot of you have been sending your pictures. we thank you for that. this is going to be a bigger deal with this system.

this is going to impact much of western north carolina and the upstate as well. jet stream reaching to the north. this is where the warm air sits. on the other side of the equation, on the east coast, we have the cold air and its trough. that's where we sit for the time being. it's diving in from the northwest, pushing everything from the carolinas. that's why a little system to the north and west tonight will bring snow back to the forecast because it will be cold enough. but that's pretty paltry when it comes to accumulations. i don't think much more than a couple of inches for the mountains north and west of asheville and for the city. storm track monday and tuesday. that's going to be a bigger deal. this track is from the southwest to the northeast. that usually means warmer air is going to get nudged in to the system. so a lot of rain is going to fall from georgia in to south carolina. slivers of ice, this zone, if you will.

ward towards charlotte. mostly snow over the mountains. then that will change to some rain as a warmer punch comes in and this system goes to the east. by then, some cold air comes back on tuesday to bring snow back down to the valley floors in western north carolina pushing the ice east and we'll have mostly just rain on the southern end of that system. complicated? you bet you. we'll keep a track on this model run. there may be subtle changes initially than bigger ones down the road. we'll get a grasp on it. leicester carpet sales news13 sky cam network hendersonville. beautiful blue ridge there in the distance. another nice sunset. 34 degrees down there. 35 at the airport. that wind is just not giving up. north-northwesterly at 17. wind chill down to 25. future cast. the future satellite and radar picture of what's to come. saturday morning, already cloudy. some bands of snow possible. again, this looks over done.

impressive by noon tomorrow. temperatures likely warmer than freezing in most places in the valleys to keep anything accumulating. minimal dusting at best. then you see the mountains late evening in to the early morning saturday. they've got snow going on there. it will be intense some areas farther north. we could see a couple of inches out of the system for the smokys, northern haywood county. inch in the valleys, marshall, burnsville, avery county. that's about it. teens and 20s for lows tonight in the mountain valleys. 20s over the upstate. highs tomorrow should get in to the 40s. anything that accumulates is going to melt off. same goes for most mountain locations. highs in the 30s above freezing in most places. 26 for the high saturday. oh yeah, that's another thing we've got to talk about. the arctic chill that settles in this weekend before we get in to the wintery scenario on monday and tuesday. wintery mix in many places around western north carolina with some of the snows higher
