Tropics...

As I discussed in the video and post this morning, the tropical disturbance in the Caribbean Sea is looking relatively interesting. This will have an opportunity for development once it gets into the Gulf.

A few storms possible...



Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.

A weak cold front is dropping our way today, and that should be enough to kick off a few showers and storms this afternoon and evening. A few of the storms could be locally strong to severe with wind damage the primary threat. Highs today will mainly be in the lower 90s.

That cold front should be just to our south tomorrow, so a dry Saturday looks on tap with lots of sun and highs in the low to maybe mid 90s in spots.

Another cold front will drop in later Sunday and bring another chance of scattered showers and storms Sunday afternoon and night.

Behind that Sunday cold front, slightly cooler and drier air will settle in for the new work week. Highs most days will be in the upper 80s to near 90 with lows in the 60s.

In the tropics, there is a healthy disturbance in the central Caribbean Sea that is heading toward the Yucatan Peninsula. Several computer models are picking up on development potential with that, and whatever can develop will be in the Gulf by early next week. It is interesting to note the Canadian model takes it to the Florida Panhandle and then up through Georgia and into the Carolinas later next week. That is an outlying solution at the moment, but something that bears watching.

See the video above for some discussion on that....it is near the end of the video.

Enjoy the weekend!

Still low humidity today...

>> Thursday, June 25, 2009



Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.

We will enjoy another day with lower than normal humidity values today with highs in the lower 90s and lots of sunshine. Keep in mind your plants will need plenty of water in this low humidity environment...I know our tomato plants can't seem to get enough water right now.

A weakening cold front will drop into the region tomorrow and bring the chance of some scattered showers and storms, mainly tomorrow afternoon and evening. A couple of the storms could wind up being locally strong to severe.

Saturday looks mainly dry with highs in the lower 90s. Then another cold front will bring the chance of a few showers and storms later Sunday and Sunday night.

Behind that second cold front, we will likely see some highs in the upper 80s and lows in the 60s early next work week.
