Showers gradually end....watching the weekend...

The overnight hours featured showers at times with temps in the 50s. The storm system responsible for the showers is gradually pulling away from the region, but it is a slow process, and I will maintain the chance of some showers at times today, especially during the first half of the day for the Triad and Charlotte areas. Highs today will warm into the mid to upper 60s for most.

Tomorrow will be a bit warmer and dry with highs in the 70s.

A warm front will move through around Friday night, and some showers are possible at that time. Prior to the arrival of that warm front, we will likely see a day Friday that features a good bit of clouds with highs round 70 degrees or so. Some spots might be cooler depending on the clouds.

The weekend forecast continues to look fairly unsettled. The exact timing and placement of the weather features this weekend is still in question, but the general idea is that a fairly potent storm system will impact the region.

At this point, I will mention the chance of some scattered showers and storms Saturday afternoon and night, and then rain and storms will highlight Sunday's forecast.

This system has good potential to bring severe weather through the Lower Mississippi Valley late Friday into Saturday, and that severe weather potential might wind up in the Carolinas as the rest of the weekend unfolds. Stay tuned....
