Rain/Storms, Then Much Cooler

A game-changing front arrives Tuesday morning. Ahead of the front, waves of showers and storms will continue from this evening and into tonight. Tuesday will be much cooler with morning rain (maybe a thundershower) tapering off in the afternoon and ending by early evening. The rest of this week will be the best weather ever in late July. :-)

RaysWeather.com has been involved with the Middle Fork Greenway for several years. The Middle Fork Greenway is a premier project of Blue Ridge Conservancy to connect Blowing Rock to Boone with a multi-use recreational trail. Many local businesses are partnering with the 'Round-Up for the Greenway in July' campaign by finding creative ways to encourage support for the Middle Fork Greenway. The pop-up ad on BooneWeather.com will appear once per day per computer and we hope you will contribute. Additionally, RaysWeather.com is donating July mobile app sales to the Middle Fork Greenway.

Forecast Discussion

A front marches southeast early this week, passing through here Tuesday morning. After Tuesday, cool/dry high pressure is the story.

After a brief look at the sun this morning, showers and storms that developed across the region this afternoon will continue in waves tonight. Tuesday has rain (with a few thundershowers) tapering off in the afternoon and ending by early evening. Temperatures will be much cooler Tuesday.

You are going to love the weather beginning Wednesday. High pressure slides southeast from the Northern Plains (Tuesday), to Ohio Valley (Thursday), and to the Mid-Atlantic next weekend. Temperatures will be 7-8° below average Wednesday. We won't climb back to average numbers til next week. For the vast majority of the region, we won't have any rain until the middle of next week; however, out of an abundance of caution, I included a renegade shower mention this weekend.
