Fairly quiet overall....

A maritime flow (northeast) will get established over the next couple of days around the region. This will mean some intervals of clouds and highs running a bit below average. A few showers will be possible as well, especially during the afternoon hours. The best rain chance today will likely be in SC into southern-most NC.

A big Omega block setup will unfold later this week. See the video for the visual on this. But the basic idea is that we will be between storm systems here in the Carolinas. This will result in pretty quiet weather as we head into the weekend with highs running a bit below average.

Less rain with time today...

What a soaker over the weekend! See today's video for a rundown on some big-time rain totals across the region over the past 48 hours or so.

The shield of rain in the Carolinas will continue to work eastward this morning, but there will continue to be the chance of some scattered showers this afternoon, and then a pretty good blanket of fog will probably form tonight.

An Omega block setup will unfold in the eastern US later this week. See the video for more on what that might mean for our region:

Nice Friday... Wet weather ahead...

Beautiful weather across the region today after a fairly chilly start. Look for sunshine and highs in the lower 70s for most areas.

A cool and wet setup lies ahead. Some showers will begin to work into the region for our Saturday, and then I expect periods of rain Sunday and Monday.

That rain will be falling into a pretty cool airmass, and this will set up a cold air damming scenario. So, it might be a case where many piedmont and foothill spots are in the 50s for much of Sunday and Monday.

The European wants to keep the occasional rain going on through Wednesday and Thursday of next week while the GFS shows some degree of drying. We will see.
