One more soggy day, keeping an eye on Erin
A few isolated storms may pop up this weekend, but most communities remain dry between Friday and Sunday.
Just one more day to go. That’s the motto many weekend warriors have on any given Thursday, but it’s also how many who are sick of the rain should feel. While scattered showers and thunderstorms reign supreme again today, drier times aren’t far away. A cold front will push into the Carolinas from the north by Friday morning, allowing a more stable air mass to settle into the Carolinas just in time for the weekend. A few isolated storms may still manage to fire up between Friday and Sunday, but most locations remain dry through the midpoint of the month as highs soar into the upper 80s and lower 90s across the Piedmont and Foothills. The resurgent summer conditions likely continue through the first few days of next week, as well.
Tropical Storm Erin continues to chug along in the Atlantic, now located roughly 750 miles east of the Caribbean. Long-range models are still firm in their belief that Erin will turn out to sea early next week, but there has been a significant westward shift in the forecast track over the past 24 hours. Regardless of the path-to-be, Erin will likely become the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2025 season by the end of the week, and could become a major hurricane by Monday morning. We’ll keep you updated as the forecast becomes clearer.
