Numerous showers and storms today

Our airmass has gotten even soupier today. Combine that with the approach of a weak cold front, and we have a recipe for numerous showers and storms for our Wednesday. We have already seen some showers and storms in the Piedmont through the pre-dawn hours today, and showers and storms will continue to be a possibility through the day into this evening.

Some of the storms could again be strong to severe today. Again, damaging winds and lightning are the biggest concerns. Highs today will be in the upper 80s to near 90.

That cold front I mentioned is the leading edge of some slightly drier air, and it appears that drier air will work into much of the Piedmont by tomorrow. In turn, that will greatly diminish the chance of showers and storms. While the rain chance tomorrow through Sunday is not zero, we are probably looking at an isolated coverage at best. Highs will be back into the 90s Thursday through Sunday as well.

Not a whole lot will change as we head into next work week. Highs will remain in the 90s with lows close to 70. Isolated PM storms will remain possible.
