Nice holiday weekend weather...

In today's video, I take a look at our Labor Day weekend weather plus the tropics....



We are continuing are string of nice weather days today with lots of sunshine and highs in the mid 80s for most. Humidity values will remain very low, so it will continue to feel pleasant.

For all of the area high school football games this evening, the weather will be great with temps dropping through the 70s throughout the evening. For all of the college football action tomorrow, no weather problems in the Carolinas.

For the holiday weekend, it looks like we will see dry conditions. Lots of sunshine will be with us tomorrow with a good bit of cloud cover arriving by Monday.

Later next week, we will see the return of shower chances.

Tropics...

Erika is no longer a classified tropical system. However, we will continue to watch it for signs of redevelopment.

Beautiful weather....watching Erika

Fantastic weather continues...I discuss that, our holiday weekend weather, plus a lot of Erika talk in the video today....



Everyone was well down into the 50s this morning, and we have another great day on tap today. If you liked the weather yesterday, you will like today as well with lots of sun, low humidity, and highs in the upper 70s. A few more clouds will be with us tomorrow, but overall more of the same with upper 70s for highs.

For the upcoming holiday weekend, highs will warm into the low to mid 80s, but conditions still look dry. We will being back in a chance of some rain by Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Tropics...

Tropical Storm Erika is a struggling tropical storm this morning.....its battle is with dry air. However, Erika should continue to fight that battle and could become a hurricane at some point over the next several days. It looks like the system will be in or near the Bahamas later in the weekend. After that, all options are on the table, and all interests from Florida up the Eastern Seaboard need to watch it closely.

Pleasant conditions....

Very nice weather here in the Carolinas as we begin September....lots to talk about in today's video including our nice weather, possible tropical trouble from Erika-to-be, and major hurricane Jimena set to hit the Baja.




After many folks saw some upper 50s for lows this morning, we will see some sunshine today with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Couple those temps with low levels of humidity, and we have a nice September day on our hands.

Lows will remain in the mid to upper 50s the next few nights with highs in the mid to upper 70s through Friday. Highs will warm into the lower side of the 80s this weekend.

Tropics: In the eastern Pacific, Hurricane Jimena is powerful Category 4 hurricane and will impact the Baja Peninsula later this week. This will be a big weather story in coming days.

We are closely watching a very healthy tropical disturbance east of the Lesser Antilles. This stands a very good chance of becoming Tropical Storm Erika fairly soon. It looks like Erika-to-be will wind up near or just east of the Bahamas by later this weekend. Stay tuned...

Rainy and much cooler as we start the new work week...

In today's video, I talk about the rainy start to the work week, the much cooler weather for this week overall, more possible tropical trouble brewing.



It was a very wet start to the day across the Piedmont today with a swath of moderate to heavy rain swinging through. One of our Carolinas wedges has set itself up, and temperatures will likely hover in the 60s for much of the day. We will continue to have the chance of at least some light rain from time to time into this evening. Lows tonight will drop in the upper 50s.

I expect a pretty good amount of cloud cover tomorrow through Thursday, but not a whole lot of rain chances during that period. Temperatures look very pleasant with mid 70s for highs and upper 50s for lows.

Temps will warm up a bit toward the weekend, but nothing at all that looks above average.

Tropics: We are closely watching a tropical disturbance out in the Atlantic east of the Lesser Antilles. This will likely become a classified tropical system over the next 24 hours, and it could wind up east of the Bahamas by the weekend. Stay tuned...

In the eastern Pacific, Hurricane Jimena is a powerful Category 4 hurricane, and it will likely impact the Baja Peninsula as a significant hurricane later this week.
