Numerous showers and storms today...

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

Heavy rain again occurred yesterday in many of the same areas that saw over 3 inches of rain Monday evening. So, portions of the region have seen over 6-7" of rain over the past few days.

Today, numerous showers and storms will be around the region as a cold front nears from the northwest and some upper level disturbances ripple through. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s for most. Again today, some storms will produce locally heavy rain, prolific lightning, and again some damaging winds and small hail will be possible.

We will remain in a warm and soupy airmass into early next work week. That means our forecast will not change much on a daily basis. Highs most days will be in the mid to upper 80s, lows will be close to 70, and we will continue to have a chance of showers and storms, mainly during the afternoon and evening.

Looking down the line, I see absolutely no indication of any significant heat wave here in the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic through the first couple of weeks of August.
