Thursday Evening Video

By the way, the 18z GFS has come in, and I still think it is lost next week. We will see. Scroll down to the post below to read my thoughts on the modeling today.

Below the video I will include the text from my News 14 Carolina web discussion this evening.

We have three storm systems that will affect the region through the next seven days. Let's take them one at a time....

Storm system #1:
An area of low pressure is moving from Alabama to off of the Georgia coast tonight. That low pressure will spread some mainly light rain into the Carolinas tonight and last into Friday morning. Rain fall amounts will be pretty light.

We will be left with a wedge in place Friday and Saturday, meaning lots of clouds and some occasional drizzle. It will be chilly with highs only in the 40s. Then, we will watch for the arrival of....

Storm system #2:
An area of low pressure will cut up to the Great Lakes region this weekend, pulling a cold front through here Sunday. I expect a pretty good chance for some showers as the front swing through Sunday, but again, the rain will likely not be overly heavy.

Christmas Eve looks like a quiet day with lots of sun and highs in the 50s. Then comes...

Storm system #3:
This one is tricky. The computer models are all over the place with this one, indicating the Carolinas could see anything from a chilly, dry day to some wintry precip for Christmas Day. As it stands now, I like the idea of an area of low pressure riding up close to the Carolina coastline Christmas Day into Christmas night. If indeed that does occur, we could see some areas of light snow or snow flurries.

Let me stress this point. Nothing at all is set in stone, and I am sure this forecast will have to be adjusted with time. Stay tuned...
