Kenny's Thursday Discussion....

>> Thursday, October 11, 2012

A chilly start to this Thursday morning in the wake of a weak cold front that passed through our area  just a few hours ago.  Waking up temperatures have the area in the upper 40s to low 50s.  The main weather story today, is the ridge of high pressure that has set up across the southeast behind the cold front funneling in drier air.  Today and tomorrow alike will be beautiful days with plenty of sunshine and highs in the low 70s.  Night time temperatures will also be consistently chilly as we see more of the same upper 40s and lower 50s.  


This all before another weak cold front passes through our area early Friday which should only be noticed in the way of high temperatures on Saturday only reaching the upper 60s. Until next time, have a wonderful weekend.

Kenny Egri Discussion

>> Tuesday, October 09, 2012

Kenny Egri is a News 14 Carolina weather intern this semester. Kenny is finishing up is bachelor's degree in the meteorology program and UNC Charlotte. 

I will be posting his discussion here from time to time this Fall. Here is his posting for today:

A classic Carolina wedge also commonly referred to as cold air damming is a phenomena in which colder air at the lower levels in the atmosphere get trapped, or "wedged" on the eastern side of the mountains.  While it is a little more involved than just this, as a general synopsis, this is what it is happening when we refer to a Carolina wedge.  Speaking of this wedge, it kept temperatures well below average yesterday with highs only reaching the lower 50s.  Today's forecast appears to be a little better in the way of high temperatures as the wedge slowly begins to erode allowing warmer air to return.  The biggest challenge with today's forecast is a
matter of timing which will ultimately affect overall temperatures.  Modeling suggests that clouds will break way by early afternoon allowing temperatures to reach the mid 60s across the region.  However,I think these models have taken a very aggressive approach to the situation across the region.  Looking at more current observations, I expect clouds will linger a little bit longer than models suggest and keep temperatures in the mid to upper 50s for the day.  Partly cloudy skies overnight tonight will only allow lows overnight to
falls into the upper 40s.  Tomorrow will be much warmer in the absence of the wedge with temperatures returning into the mid 70s before a weak cold front shifts through our area on Thursday,causing temperatures to drop slightly, but overall a beautiful week ahead.
