We've had some storms move through our area.
How we look in today and for the weekend, few
storms today. First half
the weekend looks great.
Saturday is going to be dry,
but then Sunday, All
right, OK, all right, take
what we can get. There you go.
Big thumbs down.
But I think that after such a wet week.
Tomorrow being dry will just
be a nice little change.
Pretty sure a lot of folks.
So as you see right now. Yes.
Something we haven't seen a
little bit right, the blue sky,
the sun peeking through a lot of beautiful
conditions here from Kannapolis,
Monroe, Dallas.
I know after this morning you're thinking,
oh, we're good to go.
Well, not necessarily.
We did have that first round
earlier this morning and man,
did it pack a punch,
especially between about 4:00 to 6:00 AM.
But now we're tracking kind of the
residual effects as this front booth through.
So on the West side of Tennessee,
we actually have a little bit of.
Rain moving in.
That's going to 1st clip the
mountains by later on this afternoon,
but eventually we will see a small
but limited opportunity for some local
storms here in the Charlotte Metro.
So here we are by 3:00.
O'clock again.
You see some of that scattered activity.
Notice some heavy rain at times,
some pockets of really heavy rain,
frequent lightning and even gusty winds.
They're going to be less noticeable here.
Across the Charlotte metro,
but we will see a few.
I do think a lot of the storm
activity is going to stay pretty much
northern Mecklenburg County north.
So pretty much I would say I-85
kind of the dividing line here.
And then after about 9:00 PM everyone
is dry heading into your Saturday again,
we are good to go.
We will see some clouds at times,
but also a lot of sunshine.
So with some of these
afternoon thunderstorms,
especially for areas N up toward
the mountains and foothills,
you can expect gusty winds,
some localized flooding and even
the chance for some small hail.
But we're talking hail about.
Quarter sized,
nothing near tennis ball size like what
Florida was dealing with just a few days ago.
So if you have outdoor plans this evening,
Knights have a double header
because of their game.
Yesterday was postponed due to rain.
The first one first pitch is 535,
the second one will happen right after.
Again,
we will have to monitor for a few storms,
especially around 345 o'clock,
but I really think it's going
to be a very limited potential.
Temperatures upper 70s for first pitch,
eventually falling into the
upper 60s and eventually.
Overnight we will drop into the 50s.
It will be a relatively comfortable evening
in terms of some drier air moving in,
but we will still watch a few
clouds and if weather holds off,
which it looks like it will.
Fireworks of course,
expected after the game tomorrow,
a different story.
It literally will feel like we have been
transformed into a different world.
Based on 60s clouds and rain
earlier this week,
we're talking 81.
At times we will be mostly sunny,
but on average we're partly to mostly cloudy.
By the second-half of the day especially.
And we're warming up high
temperatures right up in 81 degrees.
But Sunday a different story.
We are going to start off with
a lot of rain and thunderstorms
and then by the afternoon things
should start to clear out.
So here's kind of the progression
we have front number one finally
moving through on Friday,
high pressure builds in temporarily
in front or behind that first
front ahead of the next one.
And then as this one moves
through again Sunday morning,
primarily we'll track pockets of heavy rain,
widespread rain and storms at times,
and then eventually that will
last into the early afternoon.
So today we will of course watch
the potential for storms completely
dry on Saturday night's first
pitch on Sunday is at 105.
Things could get a little bit
dicey around that time frame,
but then we dry things out
and then check out next week.
I mean, the timing here,
right, wasn't great this week,
but great next week for the Wells
Fargo Championship practice rounds.
Early in the week,
we're talking upper 60s, lower 70s,
and then by the second-half of the week,
Wednesday.
73 degrees, mostly sunny,
that sounds great to me.
75 on Thursday with a lot of
sunshine so far for the first day
of regularly scheduled programming
there with that tournament.
So the weather for next week looks a lot,
a lot better in your guy briefing seven days.
So I would say after this week those
4 dry days in a row are going to be
a very nice change and as we look
at the 10 day forecast there been,
it does look to be dry heading
into Friday too.
