Good Friday, folks. We have another day of showers and storms pushing across the region and that means another day of tropical downpours. Just like each of the past few days, we will have to be on guard for additional issues in the form of local flash flooding. Once this system finally clears the region, a September cold front drops in and brings refreshing temps our way. Can we keep the cooler pattern dry? That may be a bit of a stretch.

Let’s start with today and hit the fast-forward button. It’s supper muggy once again as low pressure works into the region from the southwest. That will bring an increase in showers and storms to the entire state. With the tropical moisture in play, more flash flooding is possible for areas getting in on the most storms. Please keep a close eye on this setup.

If you haven’t tried the interactive radar, give it a whirl. The toolbar has literally everything you guys need to track storms all the way down to the street you live in. The best part is it’s totally free to you guys. I pay a hefty price for this service so you don’t have to! šŸ™‚ Here ya go…

This is a trend that will take us into Saturday with the greatest threat for showers and storms across the eastern half of the state. Once again, some heavy rainers will be a good bet.

Folks, these aren’t all day rains today or Saturday. Not everyone will see a ton of rain from this setup and some in the north, especially, may not see very much at all. We are talking about thunderstorms that put down torrential rains where they occur. It’s not like this is a solid shield of wall to wall rainfall.

For our friends over in West Virginia and Virginia, you guys should also be watching for some flash flooding.

As we roll into Sunday, we find a cold front dropping in here from the northwest. This September cold front will have a broken line of showers and storms with it as it sweeps through here…

Temps behind this for next week will feel awesome and well below normal. Watch how these deep troughs dig into the eastern half of the country and hang tough through the following weekend…

This pattern may become rather unsettled, giving us the threat for some rain. This is something we have been talking about for a while now, but the models weren’t really offering any backup to my thoughts. That has now changed…

I will have another update later today. Y’all have a good one and take care.
