After some wet and rather cool August weather, the low pressure system responsible for the unsettled weather is moving away, as will be evident by the clearing sky tonight. This will lead to a sunny and warmer Wednesday, the pick of the week, as high pressure builds overhead. This sunny interlude won’t last, however, as the next system will be approaching from the west, bringing clouds in during Thursday, and a shower/thunderstorm threat for Friday. This front washes out near us over the weekend and high pressure starts to build off the East Coast. This means that even though an isolated shower or storm is possible at some point during the weekend, generally rain-free, warm, and more humid weather is expected.

Thanks TK for the update! The CPC continues to show wet conditions for the east coast, but now show below normal temps as well for the rest of the month. Also, it appears that the intense heat over Texas will shift westward from the Rockies to the west coast. Good news for the state of Texas to say the least.
I do not believe the wet times for us will be the result of any”tropical” storm, etc. given the upcoming below normal temps and I am still not convinced that the tropics will get significantly active just yet. As I always say regarding the CPC…fwiw.
the 18z GFS isn’t very kind to the Carolina’s…

There goes the 18z up to its tricks again… 🙂
That run more or less increases the possibility of a hurricane hitting some part of the U.S. soon. That system in particular needs to be watched.

Help me win!!!
Hi TK- I just voted. I hope you win as I think you deserve It.
Thanks John!
Please vote for Mauzy’s blog, “Talking Reality” in the entertainment section as well!
TK-I will vote on that tommorow. I just went to do it and you can only cast one vote per day.
Weird, it let me vote for both of them.
Voted for you!!
Voted from phone. Will try iPad and computer
I can vote for both from all three devices.
Awesome!
TK- Do you have any information on the coming winter. Do you think we will see as much snow as last winter, and the big producer snowstorms.
Very, very early thoughts, based on forecasts of ENSO and other indicies: Temps normal starting cold ending mild. Snow above normal, front-end loaded winter with more snow early, less late.
00z GFS on that possible tropical system. I’m getting quite worried.

I can almost assure you that panel will not verify.
