Next system knocking on our door....

Here is the precip forecast from the HPC for the next 48 hours....the heaviest rain in much of NC will be later tonight into early Friday.

Here is today's edition of the video...


We are squeezing in one more day today with sunshine and highs in the 60s prior to the arrival of our next storm system. A potent upper level low is approaching from the west, and we will see rain arrive as soon as later this evening in the Piedmont....sooner in the mountains.

The rain could be heavy at times later tonight into early Friday, and then some rain will linger off and on through much of Friday.

Rainfall amounts look pretty generous for much of North Carolina with this system....maybe widespread amounts of 0.75"-2" across the region.

The system will be gone in time for a dry, albeit fairly chilly, weekend. Saturday will feature sun but highs in the 50s.
