Wet Monday...

The wet pattern will persist today across the region, and some generous amounts of rain look quite possible. Through the event thus far, some convection near the Gulf coast has cut down on the rainfall totals a bit, and that might continue. However, still looks like a wet day for sure.

There is some risk of severe weather as the day unfolds. Once west of the Coastal Plain, the airmass is stable this morning. However, some of that instability will likely edge westward into parts of the interior Carolinas today. As some dynamics get involved, some storms could produce an isolated tornado or two as well as damaging winds.

We have definitely made a large-scale pattern change. For the next couple of weeks, the upper air pattern will try to settle into an eastern North America trough more often than not.
