An unsettled Thursday...
>> Thursday, August 19, 2010
Here is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video....
Unsettled weather will remain with us today. We remain in a soupy airmass, and a series of disturbances continue to roll through the region. The result is waves of showers and storms. Flash flooding will remain a possibility, and a few severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening.
A much different type of day is on tap for tomorrow. Drier air will settle in from the north, resulting in less humidity, lots of sun, and a dry forecast. Highs tomorrow will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Saturday looks dry outside of the mountains with highs in the low to even some mid 90s. Humidity levels should remain low. A few storms return to the region Sunday, although the chances will be highest the farther south you go.
Monday will feature a little better chance of some showers and storms, and after that, I will maintain at least some chance of a few showers or storms on a daily basis through Thursday.
Temperatures will not be bad with lots of mid to upper 80s for highs next work week.
Tropics...
Still eying a tropical wave that has emerged off of Africa. All modeling develops this into a tropical system over the next couple of days, but almost all modeling winds up re-curving the system north into the Atlantic before threatening the US. Way too soon for any confidence yet....we don't even have a track-able system yet.

Man that one storm that came through Gastonia around 5am was incredibly powerful in terms of its lightning and rainfall. I tell ya, there was a time where I was nearly struck by a bolt because I was outside to pick up the trash can and grill that fell over in my yard, and as soon as I hit the door, a bolt 30ft. away struck. Strangest thing is, I could hear a very high-pitched noise that was painful and I ended up with a massive headache right before it happened.
Killer.....wow, that is intense! It was a strong storm. Man, next time leave the grill for later!
