Increasing Rain with Cooler Temperatures

Not your typical summertime pattern with increasing rain chances, cloud cover and tumbling temperatures.

There is a stalled front to our south that will have a series of low pressure systems ride along it which will increase rain chances across the Carolinas. The wettest day for the WCCB area looks to be Tuesday. Expect numerous showers with isolated thunderstorms through the day on Tuesday. We are not expecting severe weather, but isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out in those areas that get heavy rain in a short amount of time . Rain coverage will turn scattered Wednesday through the weekend as the stalled front is then forecast to dissipate.

With the clouds and the rain, temperatures will be well below-average as highs do not get out of the 70s Tuesday or Wednesday. Temperatures will gradually rise through the end of the week with seasonal highs returning late weekend.

I-95 points east are forecast to pick up 3-7”+ of rain this week with isolated 10” possible. There will be a sharp gradient of rainfall totals due to the position of the stalled front, therefore, we are forecasting 1-3” across the WCCB area with possible isolated higher amounts. The flooding threat is highest for eastern North Carolina.

Tonight: Increasing clouds. Few showers possible. Patchy fog. Low: 69.

Tuesday: Numerous showers. Isolated thunderstorms. High: 76.

Wednesday: Scattered showers. High: 78.
