The Weather Headlines across the great state of North Carolina for everyone, don't be caught unaware!

Today is a more active, cooler day with scattered showers, some storms, and widespread clouds. We will begin to see a change in the weather starting Tuesday.


-Tuesday, the cold front breaks down, we will start to see a ridge of high pressure build back, and some sunshine returns to most of the state. Highs will be in the 80s to near 90° for most areas. Storm/rain chances are much lower, but a couple of isolated to scattered showers and storms can't be ruled out, especially south, and some areas to the east seem more favored.


Wednesday-Friday: Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected, the ridge of high pressure really takes over, and the heat is back in full force. Highs in the 90s to near 100° each day for most areas. The high will be well in control of our weather, with sinking air and very limited storm chances on Wednesday and Thursday. Most are dry and hot.

Friday is still hot, with a slightly better chance of some pop-up storms.


The North Carolina Weekend: It looks hot and sunny with highs in the 90s to near 100°. A few hit or miss scattered PM storms look to be around on Saturday and Sunday afternoon/evening across the state, no washouts by any means, typical summertime stuff. We will get more details as we move towards the weekend.

As always, I'll keep you updated all week long!

Brief Period of snow possible Sunday morning for parts of NC, don't get your hopes out.

Say it ain't snow, yup, there's at least a greater chance than 0% of some snowflakes across parts of NC Sunday morning. I've had a lot of questions about this: don't go to the grocery store; no, you're not going to stuck in your house; no, this will not be a snow you can play in. The odds of seeing snow outside of the high country are low, but it is enough to post about. A cold rain is likely for most of the state; across northern NC from basically the Triangle north and west, there could be a brief period of snow mixed Sunday morning. The best chance is mainly across the high country of some brief accumulation up to 2"; outside of the mountains, ground temps are way too warm for any snow accumulation or impacts. The odds of seeing any snow are not that high, but in the blue area highlighted on the map, you could see some flakes mix in Sunday morning between 6AM-11AM; regardless, it'll be a cold, cloudy, and rainy Sunday statewide. No guarantees this will happen. I'm not that convinced this will happen; I give it about a 50% chance snow/sleet will definitely come down in the high country where the red outline is, but outside the mountains, the odds are not in our favor. However, if you're a snow lover in the area highlighted in blue, look out the window Sunday morning.
