Mild with a few showers possible...

Below is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video....lots of good stuff in there....give it a watch.



Another mild day will unfold around the region today with highs in the lower 70s in many Piedmont spots. A cold front is approaching and will bring the chance of a few showers from this afternoon into this evening. However, rain amounts where the showers do occur will not be terribly impressive.

Tomorrow will be quiet around our region with lots of sun for much of the day and highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Thanksgiving weekend...

Thanksgiving day is looking relatively cool and cloudy with highs in the mid to upper 50s to near 60. Some drizzle is possible, but no real appreciable rain.

Another cold front will slide through Friday and bring some rain, especially through the first half of the day. Then we are looking for full sunshine Saturday and Sunday with chillier temps. Highs should be in the 50s with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

Next week...

It looks like we will have a system move through Tuesday or Wednesday and bring some rain. After that, more chilly air should arrive, and there is the potential for another system around the Dec. 4-6 time frame. The GFS keeps popping a system with the potential for wintry weather with that one....but all I can really say at this point is that yes, there *might* be a system around that time frame......but then again, the northern branch might wind up stronger and crush it. So, nothing too exciting yet. But it is interesting to watch.

Changeable weather....

Some computer issues at work this morning, so this will be brief....no video this morning...I will be back in my regular routine tomorrow morning.

Some stubborn clouds today were slow to erode, but all in all, a mild few days will unfold. Highs today are in the upper 60s to lower 70s, and we should see low to mid 70s tomorrow.

Once again tomorrow morning, clouds and some fog will be with us, but there should be at least a few intervals of sun.

A cold front will drop in by tomorrow night, and ahead of that front, we will have a chance of a few showers from late tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening.

For the big travel day Wednesday, no problems around here with sunshine and highs in the 60s. However, another system will bring some snow to the northern Plains and rain and storms to the Midwest and central Plains.

Thanksgiving weekend...

I think most of us will be able to squeeze out a dry Thanksgiving day, although we will see a good deal of clouds. Highs look to be in the lower 60s for most.

A cold front will progress through Friday, bringing the chance of some rain for the big shopping day.

Chillier air will settle in for the remainder of the weekend. Highs will be in the 50s at best Saturday and Sunday despite full sunshine.

Next week...

Lots of question marks as we end November and begin December. The week looks fairly cold for much of the US, and there are hints of a storm system or two. We will see. . .

Fantastic weekend weather....big changes around Thanksgiving

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



We are back to full sunshine around our region today, and that will remain the case all weekend. Highs today around the Piedmont are in the mid to upper 50s to near 60. Highs tomorrow and Sunday will warm well up into the 60s.

Thanksgiving week...

The first few days of Thanksgiving week will be quite mild....upper 60s Monday for highs with some lower 70s possible Tuesday and maybe even Wednesday. However, that mild weather will then sharply change.

An arctic cold front will gradually settle closer to and eventually through the region later Wednesday and Thursday. A few showers are possible Wednesday, but it still looks like the best shower chances will be on Thanksgiving itself.

Much colder air will plunge in here by Black Friday....we might see some Piedmont highs shy of 50 Friday. The cold air only gets reinforced as we then go through Saturday and Sunday with highs and lows well below average.

How long will the cold last?

Good question. As of now, I think we will stay primarily below average for temps into early December, but there will be some modification at times.

Precip??

The GFS continues to pop up random snowstorms out there in fantasy land near the end of the cycle. It is certainly within the realm of possibility that somebody in our region will see some wintry precip during this upcoming colder pattern, however, I don't see anything specific for snow fans to get excited about as of now.
