If we've learned anything from weather computer models since early December, it's that they change frequently and are not terribly reliable beyond a few days.
But there seems to be agreement, five days away, that weather in the Carolinas this weekend will be unsettled.
The first guess for conditions at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, when the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals kick off their NFL wild-card playoff game, is for a chance of rain and temperatures above average for early January.
The various computer guidance input seems to agree on wet weather for the weekend, but the details are where everything gets tricky.
Will it rain all day Saturday? Will the rain be light, sporadic, or heavy? Those are questions we can't answer yet.
Very cold air is plunging into the continental United States this week, but the core of that cold will remain north of the Mason-Dixon line in the eastern United States. The Midwest and West will see a more southward push of the cold air.
Some of the cold will seep into the Southeast from Tuesday into Friday, but high temperatures those days will still reach the mid and upper 40s.
By the weekend, a moderating trend is likely. That's why the National Weather Service is predicting a high in the upper 50s Saturday.
In a few days, we'll have a better feel for exactly how wet it might be Saturday.

Charlotte Meeting Rooms
Great resource in Charlotte NC
If not for this resource, no one would know whether or not it is raining or sunny outside. Whew!!
Why do we pay these people to forecast the weather???
When is the forecast for a Panthers game not a wash out?? And, can anyone remember when we last had a full weekend without rain?
