Warm and Muggy With a Prize at the End

The weekend will be warm and muggy followed by lots of clouds and showers for early next week but the reward will be some very pleasant weather mid to late next week. Today and tomorrow will have temperatures well above average; especially the morning lows, with a few afternoon showers and storms playing around. Monday and Tuesday feature slightly cooler temperatures but more clouds, showers and storms. From Wednesday to the end of the week, temperatures will be below average for a change along with comfortable humidity and mostly clear skies.

Forecast Discussion

Hot high pressure will control our weather through Monday morning. The atmosphere is just unstable enough that a few afternoon showers and thundershowers could pop up but most areas will be dry for today and tomorrow. Temperatures will be well above average; especially the overnight lows.

A cold front from the northwest will move close to western NC by Monday morning and pass through Tuesday morning. The front will bring welcome relief from the heat and humidity but the price will be a lot of clouds and showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon and much of the day Tuesday. But the reward for this hot muggy and occasionally rainy weather is cool dry and sunny weather for Wednesday through the end of the week. Cool high pressure will take control Tuesday evening with cool and very pleasant conditions once the rain moves out Tuesday. It is rare to get three consecutive days in July with such nice weather but we'll take it.
