Wedge not going anywhere anytime soon....

Our wedge is nor firmly established around the Carolinas with temps in the 40s area-wide. We will settle to around 40 tonight with only mid 40s for highs tomorrow. That is quite impressive....Our average high is now up into the upper 60s!

It looks like the wedge will hold through Monday into Monday night as well. Throughout the next 48 hours, look for lots of clouds, occasional rain, and chilly temps. Not good for outside plans, but good for fellow allergy sufferers!

Cool Sat image...

Here is a visible satellite image a saved this afternoon. There are some really neat-looking and well-defined outflow boundaries off of the coast in the western Atlantic. If you see this before sunset this evening, you can click on the 'Loop' link beside the visible satellite on the right side of the page...the animation looks really neat.

Slap in the face this weekend...

We have a cold front moving through the region this evening. A few showers, and maybe a rumble of thunder or two, are possible as the front moves through. But the big weather story is the big change in temperatures for the weekend.

We will have a very strong wedge set up this weekend and last even into early Monday. Temperatures will probably struggle to make it up into the lower 50s in spots tomorrow, and most places will stay in the 40s all day Sunday. Add in a cloudy sky and brisk northeast winds, and I promise you...it will feel very cold Sunday.

Next week's weather pattern is an interesting one if you like watching the weather. The weekend wedge should scour out by later Monday and we should warm up nicely Tuesday afternoon. Then, another cold front bring more shower chances later Tuesday and Tuesday night. Behind that cold front, another wedge will set up for Wednesday and Thursday, again bringing in cooler temps. And finally, another storm system looks to push through around Friday, and that one might bring some more showers and storms.
