Cold front working our way....

It has been an extremely rough weather week in many locations in the Plains and Midwest. Today will again be active with a 'moderate' risk of severe weather focused in parts of Oklahoma and a large 'slight' risk surrounding that.

Around the Carolinas, another warm and quiet day. Some of the high-res modeling is pushing the idea of a few isolated showers this afternoon, but I still expect most spots to be dry. Same storm for Saturday.

The cold front will finally approach the region Sunday, some some showers and storms will work into the western Carolinas by Sunday afternoon and evening. And it still looks like Monday will feature very good shower and storm chances as the front moves through.

I am keeping an eye on the potential for a little Gulf of Mexico tropical mischief for later next week too. See the video for much more...

Wash, rinse, repeat...

Same ole....same ole. We will continue to see highs well into the 80s with very little in the way of rain chances through Saturday.

At the same time, this has been an extremely active weather week in the Plains and Midwest, and there will be more severe weather in some of those areas today.

A cold front will begin to approach Sunday, so I expect the mountains, foothills, and probably the western piedmont to pick up the chance of a few showers and storms by later Sunday afternoon.

Monday still looks like the day with the best chance of showers and storms as the front moves through.

More of the same...

If you liked the weather yesterday, you will like the forecast today through Saturday. We will continue to see lots of sun with highs well into the 80s. The rain chance in any one spot through Saturday remains very low as well.

The big upper ridge overhead begins to break down Sunday, allowing a cold front to approach. So, some mountain, foothill, and possibly western piedmont PM showers/ storms are possible by Sunday afternoon.

The front will slowly slide through Monday, and that is the day with the best shower and storm chances.

A pretty big outbreak of severe weather looks likely in the Plains today.... see the video for more on all of this.

Summer-like pattern this week....

An upper level ridge will continue to get established over the Southeast as we roll through this week, and that ridge will provide us with a Summer-like setup.

The heat will not be a big problem. In fact, many spots around the region will remain shy of 90 for highs. However, highs each day through the weekend will push well into the 80s with lows in the 60s.

A trough will move into the region next Monday and bring the chance of showers and storms. Between now and then, rain chances will be limited to just a handful of isolated afternoon showers or storms with most spots staying dry each day.
