A few showers and storms possible late today

Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.

Yesterday turned out to be a delightful day with pleasant temps and a nice afternoon breeze. Today will feature more clouds than what we say yesterday, but still a nice day overall with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s in the Piedmont.

A weak cold front is sagging into the region from the north, and that front will likely be enough to kick of a few isolated showers or storms late this afternoon and this evening. These will be hit and miss with most folks probably falling in the 'miss' category.

That front will lift back northward as a warm front tomorrow, and that should translate to dry weather here in the Piedmont tomorrow and Friday.

Another cold front will approach from the north Saturday and stall out just to our north. This will provide for fairly unsettled weekend weather. The weekend will not be a wash-out, but I anticipate a pretty good coverage of scattered afternoon showers and storms Saturday and Sunday.

The weather will remain relatively unsettled into next work week with the chances of some afternoon showers and storms continuing.

On another note, Evie is now 3 weeks old. She has been great....the best sleeper of any of our kids, very calm, and mild-mannered. However, the poor thing got severe nasal congestion Monday evening, and that has wreaked havoc on her sleeping. My wife and I have also been battling sinus issues. I seem to be on the mend, but my wife is still knee-deep in it. Hopefully they will improve today. Nothing serious, but when an infant has trouble breathing...not a good thing.
