Quiet for travel in our region...

>> Wednesday, November 24, 2010

Below is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.....



Today is the biggest travel day of the year, and if your travel plans take you anywhere around our immediate region, there will not be any weather problems for you. However, the travel trouble spot today is in the nation's midsection. Rain will occur from the Ozarks into the Ohio Valley. Snow will again fly from the Dakotas into Minnesota and Wisconsin.

For our area, we will see lots of sunshine today with cooler conditions than yesterday...most Piedmont highs will be between 60 and 64 degrees. Speaking of yesterday, a record high of 75 was achieved at the PTI airport.

Our Thanksgiving day is shaping up to be a cloudy, cool, and damp one. Highs will be pretty cool....only low to mid 50s in the Piedmont....and we will have a primarily cloudy sky. Some drizzle is possible at times as well.

Our next front will spread showers in from later Thursday night into Friday, especially Friday morning.

After that front clears, we will have a chilly, sunny forecast for the rest of the weekend. Piedmont highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the 50s with lows in the upper 20s and lower 30s. Highs will be in the 40s this weekend for many mountain spots.

Next week...

Another system will wrap up toward the Great Lakes and bring another cold front our way. Showers, and maybe a storm or two, will roll in Tuesday and Wednesday with a push of chillier air to follow.

The latest model runs have our system at the end of next week well to our north.

Hey Matthew I am just loving the chance for some possible T-storms early to mid week next week looks like that 500mb trough may take a neg tilt aswell so maybe some severe wx HOPE NO TORNADOES but a good storm would suit me just fine, and then the beautiful looking winter storm on the 00z GFS last few days looks great BUT like you said THAT is no sure thing by any means.

Nic...yeah, can't rule out severe...however, the amplitude of that trough could decrease in future runs, like what happened for this weekend. Also have to see if stable air stays wedged in here prior to the system's arrival...

I am hoping the storm around the 7th will hold because if it doesn't it will probably stay warm. I'm ready for 30 degrees and snow!

The GFS is just doing the normal cha cha cha. Frankly, the GFS drives me insane. It can make snow lovers jump for joy and it can make them cry all in 2 runs.
