Fantastic weekend weather...

A much drier airmass is blowing in today on west winds that are gusty at times. A Lake Wind Advisory is in effect for a good chunk of western North and South Carolina. Highs will top out in the 70s with lots of sun.

The weather this weekend will be fantastic with a sunny sky, 70s for highs, and 40s for lows. That also means great weather for the races at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the high school football games this evening, and any of the college football games across the region Saturday.

Next week....

A sharp cold front will slice through later Tuesday or early Wednesday. With the front will come some rain and storm chances, and behind the front, the chilliest air so far this season will flow in. Highs Thursday and Friday will likely struggle to reach the lower side of the 60s in the Piedmont with morning lows well down into the 30s by Friday morning.

Fall Foliage

Here are some pictures of some of the brilliant fall foliage up in the North Carolina mountains. I took these pictures Monday afternoon from the Blue Ridge Parkway/ Grandfather Mountain area.

Scattered showers and storms...

A cold front is approaching the region today and will bring scattered showers and storms today and into tonight. Highs today should top out in the 70s for most Piedmont locations.

A few storms today could be strong to severe due to the amount of upper level dynamics that will be swinging through.

Behind the front, we will dry things out tomorrow with lots of afternoon sun and much lower humidity. Highs will be in the 70s.

Some fantastic weekend weather is on tap with 40s for lows, 70s for highs, and tons of sun.

A sharp cold front will slide through by Tuesday night next week, and behind it, I still expect a pretty chilly airmass to arrive for the second half of next work week.
