Scattered Showers and Storms End by Early Evening

Warm, humid air remains in place across the Southern Appalachians. Every day in this forecast, daytime heating sparks afternoon and evening showers and storms. Small nuances matter in how much coverage a given day will have. Sunday's scattered showers and storms end around sunset. Independence Day continues the "hit or miss" afternoon regime, but with slightly less coverage than Sunday. Every day this week has potential for a strong afternoon/early evening storm.

Forecast Discussion

Today's weather map features high pressure centered in the Atlantic and extending into the Southeast. Colin is no longer a tropical storm; it's near Hatteras and moving northeast. A weak front is pressing south into Virginia today. It will be close Monday before fading off the map as the Atlantic high reclaims the Southern and Central Appalachians by Tuesday. A front from the Northern Plains may reach us next Sunday.

Every day this week has hit or miss afternoon and evening showers and storms. Coverage has been greater greater today compared to Saturday. We'll have slightly less Monday through Wednesday. Then more Thursday and Friday. These are small differences, and a strong storm is possible any afternoon/evening this week.
