90s Sticking Around A Bit Longer

Summer heat is definitely hanging tough across the deep south. Looks like 90 plus degree heat will linger into the early half of next week. The only relief will come from those late afternoon pop up showers and t-storms. We do see this heat backing down as we cruise through the mid and latter half of next week. A frontal…

More 90s Ahead !

Summer wants to finish out strong as we head toward the final few days of it. High temps will continue to climb into the low to mid 90s right through the upcoming weekend. High pressure is the main weather feature helping contribute to all this heat. Moisture has been limited the last several days but we expect this to change…

Summer Showing No Signs Of Letting Up !

Summer is showing no signs of letting up the rest of this week. Abundant sunshine will lead to temps topping out in the low to mid 90s each afternoon. It will feel more like 98 to 105 when you factor in the humidity. The chance for any cooling showers or t-storms will remain slim over the next several days. Mean…

It’s Definitely Still Summer Around Here !

We’re still very much in summer and it’s feeling every bit of it this week. Temps will manage low to mid 90s for highs each day. The chance for any rain will be fairly slim through Thursday. High pressure will be the dominate weather feature and that’s going to keep it mainly hot and dry. A frontal boundary will make…

Hot & Dry !

Florence is inland over the Carolinas and it’s transitioning into a big time rain maker. It’s slow movement will drop some 30 to possibly 40 inches of rain over some areas. Around here it’s basically hot and dry for the next several days. We will be far enough west of Florences track for any impacts here. You can expect abundant…

Drier and hot !

We still expect the old front boundary to dissipate and leave us in a hot and mainly dry weather pattern going into the upcoming weekend. Florence will be making landfall over the Carolina’s but the circulation around it will send drier air our way. The dry northerly winds will heat up and temps will easily hit the lower to mid…

Frontal Boundary Lingers

The old frontal boundary remains across the state and that’s helping kick off showers and t-storms. We expect the front to linger for a few more days before dissipating over us. This will open the door to sunny and drier conditions over the weekend into early next week. Mean while, Florence will make landfall along the SC/NC coast Friday. The…

Front Stalls Nearby

A frontal boundary will remain across the area through midweek. This boundary will be the focal point for showers and t-storms each day. We expect it to fizzle out and allow a drier air mass to move over us late week. In the mean time, scat’d showers and t-storms will pass through here. The main threats will be brief heavy…

Tropical Moisture Lingers

Gordon continues to weaken off to our west while the rain keeps coming here. The circulation around the tropical system is funneling gulf moisture into the state. This will lead to additional showers and t-storms Thursday. Looks like anything left of Gordon gets pulled farther away from us over the weekend. We begin to see fewer storms but there’s no…

Gordon Approaching Coast

Tropical Storm Gordon will make landfall somewhere along the Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana coast later tonight. Tropical outer bands to the east of the storm will have a greater impact on our southern and western areas. The main threats will be quick spin up tornadoes, strong wind gust, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning strikes. Everyone north and east can expect…
