Some showers and storms again today...
>> Tuesday, June 01, 2010
Memorial Day wound up being wet and storm across much of the Piedmont. Quite a few spots wound up with over an inch of rain, and some localized spots say significantly more than that.
Overnight last night, an area of rain and storms developed in South Carolina and lifted right through the Charlotte metro and into southern Davidson, Randolph, and Montgomery counties over toward the RDU region. Some of the rain was quite heavy, and some localized flooding issues developed.
Today, look for scattered showers and storms with highs in the low to mid 80s. Again, some locally heavy rain is possible.
We are settling into a summer-like pattern with warm and humid conditions and a daily chance of mainly afternoon storms. Highs will be getting warmer...upper 80s to even some lower 90s to end the work week and into the upcoming weekend.
Tropical Season Here...
The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins today. There are no immediate signs of tropical development around the Atlantic Basin.
As the season unfolds, I will have plenty of tropical information here for you on my site. I will also cut special tropical videos as systems warrant. Also, be sure to check out the 'Tropical Weather' section of the page. I will be adding to that section as we go ahead in time....

Matt,
What happened to the Memorial day forecast? Late last week it looked like it was going to be dry, but it turned out to be a monsoon! Poodles were canoeing down my street. Just curious what happened in the modeling/forecast that got all out of whack the last two days. Thanks.

Brad...
Yep, the 'most being primarily dry' forecast I put out Friday morning for Memorial Day turned out to be a horrific bust. The culprit was an upper level low that traveled much farther north and remained much stronger than it appeared it would. So instead of a weakening disturbance near the Gulf of Mexico, you had a potent disturbance that headed for the Virginias.
Pick yourself up, dust off, and move forward....
