Sunshine with lower humidity!

After a dreary, rainy, and stormy day across the region yesterday, a much different type of day will unfold today. Sunshine will return to the area, and there will be a significant decrease in the humidity levels as the day unfolds. Highs will top out close to 90 for most.

Lows tonight will settles into the upper 60s, and then lower 90s are on tap tomorrow with a good amount of sun. Some showers and storms will be possible in South Carolina, but I expect most of North Carolina to be dry.

Our next front will get close enough Sunday to bring back in the chance of some showers and storms, and that chance will extend into Monday as well. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 80s both of those days.

After that, the weather looks pretty quiet for much of the rest of the week. Another cold front will pass through later in the week, but at this point, that front has the appearance of passing through in mainly dry fashion.

Tropics...

Still no active systems in the Atlantic Basin. The most likely area for development over the next few days is way out in the eastern Atlantic.

An unsettled Thursday...

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



Unsettled weather will remain with us today. We remain in a soupy airmass, and a series of disturbances continue to roll through the region. The result is waves of showers and storms. Flash flooding will remain a possibility, and a few severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening.

A much different type of day is on tap for tomorrow. Drier air will settle in from the north, resulting in less humidity, lots of sun, and a dry forecast. Highs tomorrow will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

Saturday looks dry outside of the mountains with highs in the low to even some mid 90s. Humidity levels should remain low. A few storms return to the region Sunday, although the chances will be highest the farther south you go.

Monday will feature a little better chance of some showers and storms, and after that, I will maintain at least some chance of a few showers or storms on a daily basis through Thursday.

Temperatures will not be bad with lots of mid to upper 80s for highs next work week.

Tropics...

Still eying a tropical wave that has emerged off of Africa. All modeling develops this into a tropical system over the next couple of days, but almost all modeling winds up re-curving the system north into the Atlantic before threatening the US. Way too soon for any confidence yet....we don't even have a track-able system yet.

Shower and storm chances...

A stalled frontal boundary remains draped through the region, and we remain in a warm, muggy airmass. Another disturbance will roll into the region later today, and the result will be more shower and storm chances this afternoon through tonight. Highs today will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s for most.

Tomorrow also looks unsettled with good shower and storm chances and highs in the 80s.

There remains the possibility of some locally heavy amounts of rain the next couple of days, and some localized flash flooding issues are possible.

Some drier air will slip in here for Friday, and thus Friday still looks primarily dry with highs close to 90 or so. An isolated storm is possible Saturday before we see better shower and storm chances again Sunday and Monday.

It still looks like a nice upper air low will carve itself out around the eastern seaboard early next work week. This will likely wind up keeping a lot of our highs in the 80s at that point.

Tropics...

Nothing brewing now, but all indications continue to be that we are headed into a more active period of tropical waves emerging off of Africa.
