Relief has arrived!....Hurricane Alex set to make landfall...
>> Wednesday, June 30, 2010
The big weather story around our region is the end of the hot weather pattern that we have been in the grips of for most of June. Yesterday was a fairly unsettled day with lots of showers and storms through the southern Piedmont over into the coastal Plain. Today, that zone of rain chances shifts every so slightly southward as cooler and drier air begins the process of working in.
For the Triad, most spots should have a dry day, although a few showers are possible in southern sections of the viewing area. For the Charlotte region, some showers and storms are possible, but the farther south and east you go, the more widespread the activity should become.
Highs today will only be in the low to mid 80s....a welcome change!
Tomorrow and Friday look simply terrific....highs in the lower 80s tomorrow, low to mid 80s Friday. Both days will feature lots of sunshine and low humidity values.
For the Independence Day weekend, it still looks nice with mid to upper 80s for highs and lots of sunshine.
The forecast gets a bit more complicated next week as a coastal low might try to form in addition to some warmer temps trying to move in from the west.
Hurricane Alex....
Alex continues to strengthen this morning. As of the 5am advisory, Alex was a Category 1 hurricane with 80mph sustained winds. Alex could become a Category 2 hurricane prior to its northern Mexico landfall tonight.
Flooding will likely be a big problem in northern Mexico into parts of Texas and Louisiana.

Hey Matthew ive seen the euro and cmc putting some big heat over us next week but not the gfs.
Hey Anonymous @8:30pm post:
Please, please, please! No heat wave! We need a break from this crazy heat and humidity. Hopefully July will be different than what we have experienced in June.
From Anonymous to Anonymous well theres still hope things might not turn out that way as the GFS has things around norm and also the euro lately has shown hot wather far out but as time gets closer things become more clear and less hot so we will have to wait and see
Name Nic
Hey guys.....yeah, the Euro is definitely still cranking the heat next week. However, it has actually had a warm bias in the medium range.
I do expect some 90s to return with more mugginess next week, but likely not to the degree the Euro shows...
