Some good shower and storm chances...

After a one-day reprieve from the very humid conditions of late last week, it is quite muggy again today. A disturbance is located over eastern Tennessee this morning, and that disturbance will cruise through our region later today. In response to that, I anticipate a pretty good coverage of scattered showers and storms to fire, especially areas close to and north and west of I-85. Highs today will be held down a bit due to increasing clouds....mid to upper 80s for the Triad to near 90 for Charlotte.

Tomorrow also looks pretty unsettled with areas of showers and storms and highs in the mid to maybe upper 80s. On both today and tomorrow, a few storms could produce some damaging winds, and as always during summer, locally heavy rain and lightning will accompany the storms.

The number of afternoon showers and storms will likely decrease a bit by Thursday and Friday and highs will warm toward the mid 90s. More typical mid-summer weather appears on tap for the weekend as well with warm and muggy conditions and some scattered afternoon storms.
