Shower and storm chances....tropics.....

Take a look at today's video, docked above...I take a detailed look at the tropics as well as the upcoming weather here in the Carolinas.

Our 4-day heat wave is over, and the forecast for the next several days will be highlighted by good chances of showers and storms at times. Highs today will be in the lower 80s, with low to mid 80s likely tomorrow.

Like we saw yesterday, some storms could be strong to severe, and we will watch that closely.

For the weekend, Saturday still looks fairly active with lots of showers and storms, but the coverage of storms look to decrease with the temps increasing by Sunday and early next work week. Highs by Monday or Tuesday could return to the lower 90s.

In the tropics, TD2 could become Tropical Storm Ana at any point. It is possible that it could threaten some part of the US about a week from now, but it is too soon to know for sure.

And, I still think the tropical wave located just off the African coast has a good shot of becoming a significant system....if that were to threaten the US, it would likely be about 10-12 days from now.
