Good afternoon, everybody. After the 4th straight morning with temps deep into the 50s for many, temps are on the warm side out there today and will stay a little warm for the next few. As this is happening, we are actually going to focus on the weather to our east. That’s because the push from the tropics means our weather is going to be coming at us in reverse through Friday.

There’s a small chance for a shower or storm across the east and southeast on Wednesday, but a better opportunity for showers and storms will go up Thursday into Friday. You can clearly see the action coming from the east on the models…

By the weekend, a cold front drops in from the west and meets up with some tropical juice coming up on the western slopes of the Appalachian Mountains. That leads to much more widespread rain and storms…

That can squeeze out some pretty good rain numbers across central and eastern parts of the state.

This is where we now have significant differences showing up in the models. The GFS checks this front up and brings more rain and storms with a pipeline from the Gulf. The EURO brings this through with a nice push of awesome air into the first half of next week…

Again, the tropics are likely to have the final say in how much of this plays out. I still think the area heading toward the Carolinas can get a name, but we have 3 more systems behind that…

 

Meanwhile, it’s a different story out in the Rockies as a record setting snowstorm is in progress. Take a trip inside the winter blast on our interactive radar…

Have a great rest of your day and take care.
