Nice Enough

It's a pleasant weekend by November standards--cool but dry. Sunday will be similar to Saturday. A front from the west moves through Monday knocking temperatures down by Tuesday. But a gradual mildup follows. Dry weather holds until at least Thursday night.

Forecast Discussion

There's not much to write about today...

Low pressure remains off the Carolina Coast, but an area of high pressure is pressing across the Eastern U. S. from west to east. That gives us plenty of sun and seasonal temperatures--a relatively pleasant weekend.

A front from the west moves through Monday with little fanfare. Expect some cloudiness and cooler temperatures by Tuesday. While a few sprinkles are possible with the frontal passage, it was not significant enough to mention in the forecast box.

As the next high lumbers across the Southeast, seasonally pleasant weather is expected Wednesday and Thursday.

Timing for the front that follows is somewhat uncertain. I'll lean on the faster solution--Thursday night. Clouds increase Thursday afternoon and a few light showers are possible Thursday night into early Friday. Temperatures will be cooler Friday.
