After a beautiful Sunday, the trend of sunshine and warmer temperatures looks to continue. With that said, we will need to watch for some pesky clouds to start the work week which could wreak havoc on the temperature forecast. Most guidance shows morning clouds fading by the afternoon, helping us to reach temperatures close to 60 in the Piedmont. However, if the clouds manage to hold on, we will see a cooler Monday with highs closer to 50 than 60. The good news is, we stay dry and Iβm optimistic the clouds will break enough for some afternoon sun.
By Tuesday the warm up hits overdrive as we reach close to 70 in the Queen City! We maintain the warm temperatures through the middle of the week where record breaking warmth is in play. The record high for Wednesday is 71 and I’m currently forecasting a high of 73. This big warm up is thanks to a buckle north in the jet stream helping to funnel warm air in from the south. As nice as this is, this same warm air will help to fuel a storm system that will work our way by next weekend.
Right now rain chances look highest Friday night and into Saturday. The exact timing is still up in the air, but will be important. If the front associated with this low pressure works in during the afternoon we could even see a couple thunderstorms. Obviously we have plenty of time to iron out the details and enjoy the warm weather ahead of this next weather maker. Make sure to get outside, soak up the sun, and stick with the WCCB weather team or the latest!
