Clouds & Storms Continue, Josephine Forms in Atlantic
It appears that the heaviest rain in the near future will blow through Friday and Saturday.
Another week, another tropical storm! Tropical Storm Josephine formed late Thursday morning just east of the Caribbean, with sustained winds reaching 45 mph as of 11 AM. Fortunately, Josephine poses no immediate threat to the Carolinas and is expected to fizzle before approaching the East Coast early next week. Meanwhile, back in the WCCB Charlotte viewing area, we’ve got our neighborhood-friendly rainmaking system stalling out just to our north. As this system slowly sags southward, we can expect even more cloud and storm coverage to blanket the Carolinas as we head into the weekend. It appears most of the region will see upwards of 1-1.5″ of rain through Monday, the majority of which comes on Friday and Saturday.
Tonight: Scattered storms becoming more isolated overnight. Low: 72°. Wind: Light.
Friday: Mostly cloudy with scattered storms. High: 86°. Wind: SE 5-10.
Friday Night: Variable clouds. Isolated storms. Low: 72°. Wind: Light.
Saturday: Partly sunny, scattered storms continue. High: 86°. Wind: SW 5-10.
