General Discussion: A cold front looks to sweep in from the west tomorrow, accompanied with a chance of showers and maybe a thunderstorm starting tonight and not ending until tomorrow night. This cold front looks to end our abnormally warm stretch that we have been in for the week so far. Cooler and drier weather looks to then filter into the area late in the weekend, and looks to last through at least early to mid next week.

Today has been a very mild and breezy day thus far, characterized with partly cloudy skies. The clouds should increase gradually in coverage throughout the afternoon hours ahead of that cold front.

Tonight: Low-63

Tonight looks to be a mild night for late October standards, as that southerly flow continues ahead of that approaching cold front. A 30% chance of showers mainly after midnight does exist for tonight, all associated with that approaching cold front.

Tomorrow: High-75 Low-59

Tomorrow and tomorrow night looks to be quite wet as that cold front pushes through the area. No severe weather is expected, due to lack of appreciable instability. Showers with maybe some embedded thunder and lightning here and there looks to accompany the front.

Looking Ahead:

General Discussion: A stout area of surface high pressure is still centered over the North Carolina and South Carolina general region. It looks to generally stay anchored over that region through late on Friday, then looks to lose its grip and move further east. A cold front then looks to sweep into the region from the west on Saturday, accompanied with some showers mainly during the day on Saturday. Behind this cold front, a cooler and more seasonable airmass looks to filter into the region on Sunday into early next week. This area looks to be located on the west side of this area of surface high pressure centered over the Carolina’s region through the rest of the work week, resulting in southerly flow and abnormally warm temperatures. Temperatures for the rest of the work week look to top out in the upper 70’s to maybe even 80 degrees in a few locations in our region.

Temperatures made it all the way up into the upper 70’s today areawide. This coupled with a light breeze and sunny skies made today a downright beautiful and enjoyable fall day to be out and about.

Tonight: Low-51

Tonight looks to be very nice with mostly clear skies and a light southerly breeze.

Tomorrow: High-78 Low-51

Tomorrow looks to basically shape up to be a carbon copy of today, though may be a degree or two cooler in some spots. Bottom line, tomorrow looks to be another abnormally warm and beautiful fall day in the area.

Looking Ahead:

General Discussion: A large area of surface high pressure is currently centered out to our east across the North and South Carolina region. It looks to generally stay anchored out over that region through the end of the work week, then looks to move off to the east as a cold front moves into the region by late week/early weekend accompanied with some showers and possibly a thunderstorm. This area looks to be on  the western side of this area of high pressure for the rest of the week, which puts our region in a southerly return flow pattern. This will result in a gradual warm up in temperatures throughout the work week from around 70 today to the upper 70’s by Thursday and Friday. Temperatures then look to cool down to seasonal normal values by the weekend behind this next cold front.

Temperatures have rebounded nicely from the middle 30’s this morning to around 70 this afternoon. Though, such significant diurnal temperature swings are common in very dry air masses, such as the one we are under the control of now.

Tonight: Low- 42

Low temperatures look to be a little bit warmer than they were last night, since that southerly flow has kicked in.

Tomorrow: High-72 Low-45

Tomorrow looks to offer up a basic carbon copy of today temperature and sky cover wise, though may be just a degree or two warmer. All in all, tomorrow looks to be in the low 70’s under mainly sunny skies, making tomorrow a beautiful day to get outside.

Looking Ahead:

Discussion:

It’s been rather chilly for the past few days, even more so in the mornings. Frost was an issues in the early morning hours for the past two mornings. It will still be chilly, but it will slowly start to warm up over the next few days. We will be staying mostly clear throughout the first of the week thanks to the lingering high pressure system. There isn’t much else going on in the region for this time period, so enjoy the sunshine and comfortable temperatures!
