One more day of heat....

Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video. In it, I talk about the mini-heat wave breaking, the unsettled weather ahead, and I take a detailed look at the tropics. **Note I cut the video about an hour to TD 2 forming.**

We have one more day of our little mini-heat wave to make it though before highs drop back into the 80s. However, it is hot today with highs in the mid 90s and heat index values approaching 100. A few showers and storms will likely pop up this afternoon as well.

A cold front is approaching from the northwest, and that front will increase the chances of showers and storms as we head through tonight and tomorrow. Highs tomorrow will only be in the mid 80s for most.

That front will stall out around the area, so each day through the weekend will feature good chances of some showers and storms with highs in the 80s.

In the tropics, Tropical Depression 2 has formed from the tropical wave that is west of the Cape Verde Islands. It will continue on a generally west-northwest track into the weekend while slowly strengthening. It is too early for any certainty as to whether this will impact the U.S.

I am putting up a bunch of helpful links for tracking TD2 in the left side column.
