Happy Saturday everyone.
Hopefully you've had a
great start to your weekend.
Today was absolutely beautiful.
We had a mix of sun and clouds.
Today, so let's talk about the numbers
because we climbed into the 70s across
a good chunk of our viewing area.
76 in Rockingham Today 77 in
Wadesboro Chiron, Lancaster,
even in Charlotte.
73 An Hickory, an upper 60s,
and even some mid 60s in the mountains.
67 and boom.
So here's what we've got to come.
We've got a cloudier day Sunday,
with a slight chance for rain.
Slim rain chances for the
next few days actually.
And then we've got a big
warm up into late next week.
And that warm up will also
help to dry us out.
So tonight will drop down
into the 40s in the mountains.
An low to mid 50s across the Piedmont.
First warn Doppler radar is quiet right now.
No issues to track out there
as I zoom out the view.
We've got some clouds off to the northwest.
Even some showers pushing across
parts of Kentucky into Tennessee.
This is all associated with a
warm front that's back to our
West so you can see as that front
kind of parks over our region.
We're actually going to see
an increase in our clouds and
also our rain chances although.
We are not talking about any washout,
so this is Sunday afternoon.
That warm front kind of stays parked
over the area even into Monday,
so that keeps the showers or
the clouds I'll say.
And also the chance for showers
around into early next week.
So let me show you futurecast
because as we walk out as we work
our way through the rest of tonight
will have those increasing clouds.
So we'll call it partly to mostly
cloudy tonight 9:00 o'clock.
Tomorrow morning we'll have a
few showers around,
primarily in the mountains,
and then by the afternoon we'll
have a partly to mostly cloudy Sky.
With the chance for a few showers now,
don't cancel any outdoor plans
that you have tomorrow.
Just keep in mind we could have a pop-up
shower or two and that's really about it,
so certainly nothing worth cancelling
your plans over as we go into Monday.
Kind of more of the same.
Our shower chances will diminish
Sunday night and then by Monday
afternoon will have the chance
once again for a few showers.
So tomorrow in the mountains it is cloudy,
low 60s,
sixty one in Jefferson 62 in Fleetwood,
across the Piedmont.
We've got temperatures generally
in the low to mid 70s,
seventy two in Lenore, 72 in Taylorsville.
Again our rain chance tomorrow only
about 20% so again nothing to cancel
those outdoor plans over 77 in Salisbury,
74 in Statesville and then some
locations farther to the Southeast
actually pushing 80 degrees like
Rockingham and Chirac and Lancaster,
Chester as well in the upper 70s now
are 6 to 10 day temperature outlook.
This takes us into next week late next week,
so this is a 21st to the 25th.
And look at those colors.
This looks like a 5070 even 90%
chance of above average temperatures.
So let me show you the numbers here
because the average is 80 degrees.
Tomorrow will be close to the
average Monday we're at average,
which is 80 degrees 79 on Tuesday.
And then we start to climb 82 on Wednesday,
84 on Thursday,
and we're going to keep climbing from there.
So as high pressure builds overhead,
our rain chances before high pressure
builds overhead will actually be about 20%.
So again, nothing to cancel plans over.
But as high pressure builds,
it also dries us out,
so you'll notice Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
It is primarily drive.
Now I do want to mention because the
pollen forecast we've actually been
seeing those levels coming down,
so that's certainly some good news
down to kind of that medium category
on Saturday or Medium to high on
today and then going down into that
medium category by Sunday, Monday.
So those numbers coming down
6.76 point 3 and to Monday,
so the seven day forecast you'll notice
what I mean here are rain chances.
Only 20% Sunday,
Monday,
Tuesday temperatures right around 80 degrees,
but then we climb into the low
80s Wednesday mid 80s by Thursday
Upper 80s Friday and then will
likely push 90 degrees if not
some low 90s into next weekend.
