Drier air slowly moves in today
The dry air is still coming..it’s just taking its time. An inversion is trapping some moisture closer to the surface. This has kept it feeling a little muggy this morning with broken cloud cover and patchy fog. Temps are in the 50s for the Mountains and upper 60s across the Piedmont. Clouds will slowly fade today with highs topping out in the low 80s.
Fall Feels Friday/Saturday
Cooler Friday morning with clear skies and lows in the 50s and low 60s. Saturday will be the coolest morning with all the fall feels as lows dip into the 40s and 50s across the region. Sunny and dry Friday and Saturday with highs in the low 80s.
Rain and Storms Sunday
A cold front moves in Sunday bringing back rain and storm chances. A stronger storm or two possibly with damaging wind gusts the greatest concern. Drying out early next week with temps staying below average.
Tropics Update
