Cold front drops in this weekend...

As a cold front settles into the region this weekend, it will provide fairly unsettled weather to the Carolinas. Sunday will probably be the wetter of the two weekend days as the front slowly sags southward.

In the longer range, it looks like a pretty good trough will swing into the eastern US mid-week next week and shove a nice push of cooler, drier air into our region. The result could be some well below average highs by Thursday and Friday.

Shower and storm chances increasing...

A soupy, tropical airmass is draped across the region, and as a cold front continues to slowly approach from the northwest, shower and storm chances will be on the increase across the piedmont.

So, the basic forecast idea is for scattered showers and storms over the next several days. Parts of Georgia and South Carolina have dealt with flooding problems over the past couple of days, and while I don't expect widespread flooding issues across North Carolina, certainly some flooding problems are probable.
