Saturday, October 5th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

There will continue to be a chance of showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow, especially tomorrow and it will remain warm with a high today in the upper 70’s to low 80’s, but likely staying a bit cooler tomorrow due to the rain.  Monday will likely be a very rainy day as the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen approach our area and combine with an approaching cold front.  After the front pushes through it should leave us with a very nice day on Tuesday.  The models have then gone back and forth with the possibility of another tropical type system forming off the Carolinas and possibly affecting our area with some rain for Wednesday and Thursday.  This latest run of the European model again shows the chance of a tropical system forming off the Carolinas and bringing us some rain on Wednesday and Thursday which could be heavy at times on Thursday and could linger into Friday morning before finally clearing out.  We should then have a nice weekend next week.  The next storm to watch would be for the middle to end of next week as yet another tropical system may form and combine forces with an approaching cold front, bringing the chance for more heavy rain as we end the following work week.  Stay tuned, the Tropics are heating up as the air to the north of us is cooling down substantially.  This has the potential to lead to some severe weather as we head into late October.  Click here to view an interesting video about the extreme weather with heavy snow and tornadoes in the West and Mid West from Chad Myers of CNN and click here to view an interesting video from the Weather Channel.  By the way, Chad Myers is the best on camera meteorologist out there.
