Big weekend weather changes, and watching the tropics...

Hot finish to the week... cooler early next week....

>> Thursday, August 21, 2014

Highs today and tomorrow will top out well into the 90s around the region, In fact, some places in SC could clip 100 today and tomorrow. A few isolated PM storms are possible both days, but the prospects of widespread rain today and tomorrow are low.

A back door cold front will drop in here Saturday and bring better chances of some showers and storms, and then a much cooler setup will arrive for Sunday-Tuesday with highs well down into the 80s across much of NC.

We are still watching our tropical wave which is approaching the Lesser Antilles this morning. Over the next few days, this wave will be interacting with some mountains areas through the Greater Antilles. However, this could slowly develop as it near the Bahamas thereafter.

Systems overall have had a tough time developing this season, so it is far from a certainty that this will develop. But we will watch it. Eventually, this will likely be off the East Coast next week. See the video for more.

Hot finish to the work week on the way...

>> Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Highs today will top out in the upper 80s and lower 90s for most in NC. We will also have the chance of some isolated showers and storms later today.

Tomorrow and Friday then look quite hot around the region with highs in our viewing area in the low and mid 90s. Places such as Columbia and Charleston in South Carolina could make a run to around 100.

A front will then back in here from the northeast over the weekend and bring a little better chance of some showers and storms followed by cooler temps.

The tropics are trying to heat up a bit as well. All of the details in today's video:
