Wednesday Post and Video

I will paste my discussion from the News 14 Carolina website below, but a few additional notes first.

With next week being Thanksgiving week, there will obviously be a lot of folks traveling. It appears there will be a significant storm system develop over the nation's interior mid-week. The computer models are all over the place with this one, and frankly, I don't really think any of the runs I have seen this morning are handling that system correctly.

For our region, we will probably see the system affect us around Thursday or Friday with some rain and maybe some thunderstorms, then we probably turn quite chilly behind the system for the weekend after Thanksgiving. However, I reserve the right to amend those ideas...that is just the way I am leaning right now.

Below is my discussion from the News 14 Carolina site.

A sharp cold front is heading our way, and that front will usher in much cooler weather into the region tomorrow. However, ahead of that front, we are seeing some nice Wednesday weather with a partly cloudy sky and highs in the mid to upper 70s.

If you have outdoor plans this evening, the weather should be fine. However, we will see some showers and storms spreading into the area after midnight tonight ahead of that cold front. This is not a classic setup for severe weather, but one or two strong or severe storms will be possible late tonight into early Thursday. In terms of rainfall amounts, I am looking for most totals to be between 0.10" and 0.50"...but if we do have some thunderstorms involved, some spots could see some locally heavier amounts.

Thursday will be blustery and much cooler with temperatures hovering in the low to mid 50s much of the day. The showers and storms will end by mid-morning, and some clearing will kick in by afternoon. It will be breezy though with some northwesterly wind gusts in excess of 25mph possible.

Chilly and quiet weather will then settle into the Carolinas for Friday and Saturday. Highs will mainly be in the 50s with lows in the upper 20s. Up in the mountains, some upslope snow will likely kick in later tomorrow into early Friday.
