Scattered storms...

First of all, I wanted to mention that I will be participating in the Media Mayhem bus race out at Charlotte Motor Speedway this evening. I will be taking on some of the other media personalities from around the region. Gates open at 4:30pm, and some other racing action begins at 5pm. I believe our race is right at 8pm.

It should be a great time, and hopefully Conklin, Panovich, Justus, myself, and all can put on a good show. Come on out!

Here is the press release for the event.

Today's forecast features good chance of scattered storms, especially this afternoon and this evening. It will not rain all day, and I can't even say everybody will see rain, but I do expect a good number of showers and storms. Highs will be in the low to maybe mid 90s in spots.



Drier air will work in tomorrow behind a weak cold front, and that should limit any storm chances tomorrow to areas close to I-95 over to the coast. Everybody in the region should be dry Thursday and Friday.

The heat and humidity will return of the Fourth of July weekend with some mid 90s back for much of the Piedmont.

Tropics...

Monitoring an area of disturbed weather in the southern Gulf of Mexico...it might become our first classified tropical system of the season, but it looks as if it will head into Mexico. Flooding will likely be the biggest problem with this.
