Let’s go, the Halloween Holiday weekend is almost upon us, and the weather is looking good!

Here are some thoughts on the forecast over the next few days!

Thursday: Partly sunny skies with highs in the 70s a little warmer, it’ll be a great day statewide temps in the 60s across the mountains.

Friday will be the warmest day, with highs in the 70s and some spots in the low 80s, feeling like May, with partly to mostly sunny skies expected. No rain.

🎃 Halloween Saturday: Increasing clouds and partly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 60s and low to mid 70s for most locations across the state. Evening temperatures in the 50s and 60s for most areas, no rain, and great trick-or-treating weather for sure, or any Halloween plans you have.

Sunday: Partly cloudy skies highs in the mid/upper 60s and low 70s for most locations. A stray shower chance across Western NC, but at this point most locations will stay dry.

Tropical Update: National Hurricane Center tags a Tropical Wave for potential development

On Thursday evening, the National Hurricane Center was monitoring a tropical wave in the Atlantic Main Development Region. It is very early for a tropical wave that comes off Africa to develop; this usually doesn't happen until August-October. In fact, waves have only developed a handful of times over the past 40 years from this area in June. Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue showing some signs of organization; the National Hurricane Center says environmental conditions could be conducive for development. A Tropical Depression could develop early next week; I will monitor it, but nothing to worry about as of now. Historically, this is very rare, but honestly, at this point, anything is possible. It is Hurricane Season; we live in a state prone to hurricanes, so we need to be ready all season regardless. I'll keep you posted until the system is gone as usual, but no need to panic or anything like that. The NHC gives the wave a 40% of development over the next 5 days.
