More Clouds, Less Cold

This afternoon is not as cold as yesterday, but cloud cover hampers full warming potential so it remains chilly. Clouds are courtesy of low pressure trolling the northern Gulf of Mexico today and Friday and then the Carolinas coast this weekend. That's far enough away that it remains quiet here. Clouds decrease late tomorrow leading to a sunny weekend.

Forecast Discussion

Fair weather is the story until early next week. It's a close call however, as moisture surges north tonight tied to an area of low pressure in the northern Gulf. We'll dodge anything more than clouds today and Friday as precipitation is focused along the I-85 corridor and points east. For what it's worth, as the low moves along the Southeast coast this weekend it strengthens and makes a mess for NC beaches, especially the Outer Banks.

The weekend is sunny and seasonably cool with ample sunshine.

It potentially gets more interesting late next Tuesday and Wednesday as a clipper heads our direction from the Upper Midwest. I've sat on my hands this morning as there are timing concerns. If computer guidance holds course we'd deal with light rain late Tuesday changing to snow Wednesday morning. It will be fast if it comes to fruition followed by an equally fast warm surge behind it. More to come. Right now, just enjoy an ideal stretch of mid-November pleasantries.
