Sunday Evening

We have seen some showers out there this evening, but it looks like warmer air aloft kept us from seeing any big storms today. With a frontal boundary lingering near the region, a passing shower or storm will remain possible overnight, and more scattered showers and storms will probably be with us Monday afternoon.

Tuesday into next weekend look to feature primarily dry conditions. While an isolated shower or storm will be possible any afternoon, the chance of rain in any one spot on a daily basis looks very small.

The heat will build, and I think we are looking at mid 90s by the end of the week.

On another note, I have bumped into plenty of people talking about Friday night's storms. They were certainly quite intense, and a lot of downed tree limbs can be seen in parts of Cleveland, Gaston, and Mecklenburg counties. When I got home Friday night, my neighborhood was without power, and quite a few tree limbs were down. It was actually a little surreal driving in there and it being completely dark...no street lights, no lights from homes...nothing. My wife had already gotten candles lit all around the house. It actually was kinda fun to be away from all of the electronics and what-not for a period of time.

Couple of off days coming up Monday and Tuesday. I have lots of odd and end type of things to get done around the house....maybe I can make a dent in them over the next couple of days.

Thanks for reading!
