Cold front drops in this weekend...

As a cold front settles into the region this weekend, it will provide fairly unsettled weather to the Carolinas. Sunday will probably be the wetter of the two weekend days as the front slowly sags southward.

In the longer range, it looks like a pretty good trough will swing into the eastern US mid-week next week and shove a nice push of cooler, drier air into our region. The result could be some well below average highs by Thursday and Friday.

Shower and storm chances increasing...

A soupy, tropical airmass is draped across the region, and as a cold front continues to slowly approach from the northwest, shower and storm chances will be on the increase across the piedmont.

So, the basic forecast idea is for scattered showers and storms over the next several days. Parts of Georgia and South Carolina have dealt with flooding problems over the past couple of days, and while I don't expect widespread flooding issues across North Carolina, certainly some flooding problems are probable.

Chance of some showers and storms.... better storm chances this weekend...

Some parts of the region, mainly in the Upstate and north Georgia, had some big rain totals yesterday. Other spots, such as the Charlotte and Triad regions, only had highs in the 70s after morning rain exited yesterday.

Pleasant Monday weather... better storm chances ahead...

Highs today will only be in the 80s once again across the region. Charlotte and Greensboro have failed to hit 90 yet this month, and that follows a July with only a handful of 90-degree days. Overall, I think temperatures will run in the general ballpark of average over the next week or so.

We will have a couple of storm systems swing our way. First of all, isolated showers are possible today in the mountains, foothills, and northern piedmont, and then tomorrow will feature a better chance of some afternoon showers and storms.

Wednesday looks unsettled with good shower and storm chances, and then another cold front will bring good shower and storm chances for Friday and Saturday.
