Beautiful Wednesday evening in progress out there with temps easing into the 60s and pleasant humidity values. A little pocket of 700mb moisture passed overhead today, and that created some rather stubborn cloudcover in many spots.

Saturday morning still looks like the coldest morning so far this season with lows well down into the 40s. The mountains should see a frost, and some mountain locations could even see a freeze.

It really looks like we have settled into at least fairly comfortable weather for a while, and I am getting the idea we may be finished for the year with any significant heat.

Those of you that tuned into the Triad version of News 14 Carolina got to see me on your airwaves for the first time today. I was on from 11:00am until 5pm. Monte has taken over on-air duties this evening. I will be holding down the same time period again tomorrow in the Triad. On the Charlotte side, I will also be handling the 11-5 on-air duties, and then I am to the early morning shift Friday.

Letting the food digest some right now. We just got through eating what I think might have been the biggest baked potatoes I have ever seen. And, after leftover chicken parmesan for lunch, I am a bit stuffed.

Everyone have a great evening. Enjoy the weather....it is nove out there right now!

The Triad edition of News 14 Carolina is alive and active this morning. Welcome to all of you up in that part of the great state of North Carolina. Get ready for news and weather coverage like you haven't experienced before!

Not much time for posting last weekend...Saturday I was doing the AM and midday shifts for Charlotte and dry runs at those time periods for the Triad....lots of weather hits! Yesterday, my duties were just confined to the Charlotte side of things, but I got a little under the weather as the day progressed.

Congrats to the Panthers on a much-needed win yesterday. Also, congrats to my Mississippi State Bulldogs for also checking in Saturday with a much-needed win.

Enjoy the nice fall weather this week....looks nice! Gotta head on out the door this morning to our pre-natal appointment...heading down the home stretch now.

I am watching severe weather coverage this evening from ABC 33/40 in Birmingham. It looks like a possibly significant tornado touched down near the community of Oneonta in Blount county....that is a bit northeast of Birmingham.

Click on the live stream link on the right to watch the coverage as long as it continues. This is the television station at which I interned for six years. James Spann and his crew are some of the absolute best at severe weather coverage.
