Warm and muggy....

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

After a nice weather weekend, we are beginning the work week with a warm day with highs in the upper 80s to near 90. A few isolated late-day shower or storms are possible today, but the chance of rain in any one Piedmont location today is pretty small. The showers and storms will be more numerous in the mountains and on the coastal Plain.

I anticipate a better chance of Piedmont showers and storms tomorrow afternoon and evening as some better dynamics come into play. A few stong to severe storms can't be ruled out either. High temps will be in the upper 80s to near 90.

Each day this week will ahve at least some chance of some afternoon showers and storms. The chances will probably increase again late in the work week and into the weekend as a cold front approaches and stalls out nearby. Highs will remain in the mid to upper 80s with lows in the 60s.

In the tropics, there is an area of low pressure in the western Caribbean Sea that might show some slow signs of development over the next couple of days. We will watch it.

Did you see any of the footage from the Vortex 2 crew from Friday? The team was able to document the entire life-cycle of a tornado....some pretty compelling video.

Scour youtube.....the video is out there. Amazing stuff.
