Warmer with less rain...

Take a look at the Carolina Weather Video above....lots of discussion about the tropics and our weekend weather.

Some drier air has slipped into the western Carolinas, and that will greatly reduce the number of showers and storms around our area today and tomorrow. Sure, a few isolated showers or storm are possible, but they will be few and fay between. Look for a partly sunny sky both days with highs in the mid to possibly upper 80s in spots.

Moisture will increase again over the weekend, and therefore I expect the daily coverage of showers and storms to increase again Saturday through Monday afternoons. Highs will be in the upper 80s to near 90.

Most of next work week looks warm and humid with some chance of a few PM storms each day.

In the tropics, TD 2 is losing the battle with dry air at the moment, and it could dissipate altogether today. If it survives the day, it still could become a tropical storm at some point into the weekend.

As I have been mentioning, I think a bigger problem could be the strong tropical wave in the far eastern Atlantic. That has the potential to become a much more significant tropical system with time.
