Scattered rain on Monday leads to a seasonable week
Fake fall begins to recede this week.
Plenty of sun for most of us today, but as expected, rain is moving back into our counties south of I-85. This means cloud coverage will increase across the area overnight and into tomorrow. I don’t expect a complete washout tomorrow, but most of us will see rain at some point. Scattered showers are expected throughout the day from the High Country to the Piedmont. This will help to keep highs around 80 in the Piedmont, and deliver lower 70s in the High Country. Most of the action should begin to die down by overnight Monday. This sets up shop for a return to more summer-like conditions as the week wears on. Temperatures begin to climb into the upper 80s and low 90s in the Foothills and Piedmont. Meanwhile, the High Country can expect highs in the upper 70s by midweek. Rain chances will be slightly above average for August after Monday. This means isolated to scattered storms each afternoon in typical summer fashion.
As for the tropics, I fully expect our first hurricane in the Atlantic by the end of this week. This will come from current invest 97L off the west coast of Africa. It’s way too far down the line to know exactly where the storm will go after it crosses the MDR (Main Development Region) of the Atlantic. So stay tuned to WCCB Charlotte and we will keep you posted!
