Latest Forecast

Sun and clouds with cooler conditions Friday

We’re keeping an eye on a storm system moving across the Deep South that’s bringing some much heavier rain to places along the Gulf Coast and parts of Texas. As it heads toward the Carolinas, though, it’s going to run into a cooler, drier air mass that’s already sitting over us. That’s basically going to lock us into a cloudy, cool pattern heading into tonight and Friday, with highs stuck in the upper 60s and low 70s. Saturday, expect rain starting very early into the afternoon. Temperatures will struggle to get out of the upper 50s to near 60 degrees, and with a cool northeast breeze, it’s going to feel even chillier.
