Tropics...
>> Friday, June 26, 2009
As I discussed in the video and post this morning, the tropical disturbance in the Caribbean Sea is looking relatively interesting. This will have an opportunity for development once it gets into the Gulf.
A few storms possible...
Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.
A weak cold front is dropping our way today, and that should be enough to kick off a few showers and storms this afternoon and evening. A few of the storms could be locally strong to severe with wind damage the primary threat. Highs today will mainly be in the lower 90s.
That cold front should be just to our south tomorrow, so a dry Saturday looks on tap with lots of sun and highs in the low to maybe mid 90s in spots.
Another cold front will drop in later Sunday and bring another chance of scattered showers and storms Sunday afternoon and night.
Behind that Sunday cold front, slightly cooler and drier air will settle in for the new work week. Highs most days will be in the upper 80s to near 90 with lows in the 60s.
In the tropics, there is a healthy disturbance in the central Caribbean Sea that is heading toward the Yucatan Peninsula. Several computer models are picking up on development potential with that, and whatever can develop will be in the Gulf by early next week. It is interesting to note the Canadian model takes it to the Florida Panhandle and then up through Georgia and into the Carolinas later next week. That is an outlying solution at the moment, but something that bears watching.
See the video above for some discussion on that....it is near the end of the video.
Enjoy the weekend!
Still low humidity today...

We will enjoy another day with lower than normal humidity values today with highs in the lower 90s and lots of sunshine. Keep in mind your plants will need plenty of water in this low humidity environment...I know our tomato plants can't seem to get enough water right now.
A weakening cold front will drop into the region tomorrow and bring the chance of some scattered showers and storms, mainly tomorrow afternoon and evening. A couple of the storms could wind up being locally strong to severe.
Saturday looks mainly dry with highs in the lower 90s. Then another cold front will bring the chance of a few showers and storms later Sunday and Sunday night.
Behind that second cold front, we will likely see some highs in the upper 80s and lows in the 60s early next work week.
Getting warmer....

The nasty heat continues off to our west today. Yesterday, Audubon Park in New Orleans hit 102 and Mobile hit 101. Bear in mind these are places right along the Gulf coast.
Meanwhile, we will see lots of sunshine today with highs in the lower 90s for most Piedmont locations. Tomorrow we will again see lots of sun with highs in the low to even some mid 90s.
A weak cold front will drop in Friday and give us some scattered showers and storms, and then outside of an isolated PM storm chance, the weekend looks mainly dry with highs warming up into the mid 90s. So the heat will build a bit.
Next week, more of the same with highs in the lower 90s most days and just a small chance of a late day storm.
Not bad at all....

Locations off to our west and southwest are baking in oppressive levels of heat and humidity. Yesterday, Pensacola, FL hit 101. Mobile and Hattiesburg, MS hit 100. New Orleans hit 96. And most locations in the southern Plains to the Deep South will see highs today just as hot.
Meanwhile, our highs will hit the upper 80s to lower 90s, and we are getting the treat of lower than normal humidity values for the next couple of days. We will see lots of sunshine today and tomorrow as well.
Humidity levels will creep up a bit later this week and we will see lower 90s for highs Thursday through the weekend. Some scattered storms will return to the forecast Friday and then again toward the beginning of next week.
Quiet weather...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day. I had a great weekend with the family. Saturday we went and spent some time at a little water park at a local YMCA....kids had a great time (and their dad did too). Yesterday, I was awakened by a rousing rendition of "Happy Father's Day To You" and served breakfast in bed. Just a terrific Father's Day and weekend.
In terms of the weather, we are on the 'good' side of a stationary front that is draped from the Midwest down into Tennessee and Georgia. The Carolinas will enjoy lower level of humidity the next couple of days with Piedmont highs mainly in the upper 80s. Today and tomorrow will feature lots of sunshine as well.
Meanwhile, the southern Plains and the Lower Mississippi Valley will bake in the heat and humidity with highs near 100 in many spots and stifling levels of humidity.
We will see humidity levels creep back up late this week, and I will bring back in scattered storm chances by Friday and Saturday.
