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!

WET TIMES AHEAD

If you were sick of the rain last year, then you're not going to like the next two weeks at least. The next two days will be dry and quiet Valentine's Day will be very nice and sunny a great day to be outside.


Friday will be the warmest day of the next few with highs in the mid and upper 60s state wide.


Here's a look at Thursday's forecast.



WET, WET and Wetter: This weekend through next weekend will be extremely wet and cloudy with very little sunshine. The Atlantic Ridge (which is what brings the warm and humid weather during the summer defiantly signs that spring is coming) this will set up the perfect pattern for a train of storm systems to move through NC over the next week. The ridge will also send winter weather north, while storm systems will get stuck over the southeast bringing rounds of rain.


We will see impressive rainfall totals over the next 8-10 days, here's a look at the GFS rainfall predictions ending next Saturday.

NOTE THIS NOT A FORECAST JUST A MODEL PREDICTION


Between Saturday and next Friday we could see 3-6" of rain, while flash Flooding is not expected grounds will start to become saturated. If this pattern continues Flooding problems will start.


Starting Saturday through all of Next week expect lots of cloudy and rainy days



WINTER WEATHER: Earlier in the week some news channels and pages were hinting at the possibility of Winter weather beginning of next week. Well, like I have said all winter the models have been showing snow for the next week has it happened no. Not expecting any winter weather Monday or Tuesday at this time.
