Summertime weather...

The upcoming holiday weekend marks the unofficial ending of summer in the minds of most people, and we have summertime weather highlighting the forecast. No extreme heat in the Carolinas, but highs on many days between today and early next week will hit the upper 80s and lower 90s.

A few storms will be possible today and tomorrow, and then the scattered storm chances look to increase for the holiday weekend.

This weekend also marks the beginning of college football season, something I love. Actually, the season gets underway with several games Thursday night, including one with great local interest as the Gamecocks host the Tar Heels. There will be some scattered storms around tomorrow evening down in South Carolina, but they will be hit and miss. Highs tomorrow in Columbia will be in the mid 90s, and it could still be in the 90s at gametime if a cooling thunderstorm has not rolled through.
