Clouds and Isolated Showers

Temperatures are a little warmer than yesterday. Widely scattered showers and thunderstorm pop up in the High Country this afternoon, continuing overnight closer to the Blue Ridge. Tomorrow looks to be the driest day for a while, with rain and humidity, but we are still expecting isolated showers to pop up. This 4th of July weekend looks to have typical summertime weather: party sunny mornings and more coverage of afternoon scattered storms.

Forecast Discussion

Unsettled summertime weather is the main theme of the weather for the next week. Today is a step warmer than yesterday. We'll have some widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. More may pop up overnight, but mainly near the Blue Ridge.

Tomorrow, courtesy of easterly moving high pressure to our north, we have some dry air encroaching into our area burning off the morning fog near the blue ridge. This means while we expect warmer temperatures we'll have less humidity. Isolated showers are still expected but with less than today.

After this respite, we have typical summertime days coming up as the Bermuda high dictates our weather, bringing warmth and moisture up to the High Country. Afternoon shower and thunderstorm coverage becomes more widely spread across the area for our 4th of July holiday weekend.
