Active Weather Pattern Ahead...

Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video. A lot of active weather over the next week, so I encourage you to watch if you hold an interest in weather.

First off, let me say that today and tomorrow will be quiet around here. Highs today will be in the mid to upper 60s, maybe some lower 70s in spots, and then highs tomorrow will be cooler...mainly in the mid 50s to lower 60s.

A dynamic Spring storm system will cause an outbreak of severe weather in the Plains later today and tonight. Meanwhile, up in the colder portion of the storm system, a blizzard will unfold in the northern Plains. Quite a system!

The cold front with the system will drop in here Wednesday and give us the first in a series of rain chances this week. I won't delve into all of the specifics, but basically we look to see some rain later Wednesday, then some more rain Thursday, then again later Friday, and then again later Saturday into Sunday.

That weekend system sure has the look of a big severe weather producer in the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Deep South, and we might wind up seeing some of that severe weather in the Carolinas at some point over the weekend. We shall see.

Again, if you hold an interest in the weather, you will enjoy the next week or so.

It was a very busy weekend for me. I got the call late Friday afternoon that Tara Lane was a bit under the weather, so I pulled the Saturday morning shift for her for the Charlotte and Triad markets. From work Saturday morning, it was straight home to grab the family, and then over to Anson county to spend some time with my wife's parents who are doing some work over there. Spent the afternoon with them.

We went out for lunch at a restaurant Saturday, and something did not sit well with me at all. So, let's just say I spent quite a bit of time the rest of the day in the restroom. Then, my oldest daughter took a nasty tumble on her bike Saturday afternoon. Landed right on her face on the gravel road. She has a couple of nasty scrapes that are healing, but thankfully nothing serious.

We got home Saturday evening, then it was up for church and Sunday school yesterday morning. Spent the afternoon at home relaxing a bit and doing LOTS of prep work to the house to get ready for the baby. We are in the final countdown now...due date is Sunday. But baby bed is set up....so is the bassinet, house continues to be tidied...we are getting close.

At any rate, enjoy today....it will be nice. Lots of rain chances coming down the line...

So anyway,
