Big Changes Next Week

Atleast a temporary change is coming. A strong front will slip down through the Carolinas early Monday, and usher in cooler (and much drier!) air for a couple days.  This new airmass will atleast scour out the low level ozone and polluted air that has been encompassing the region for the last week.

Lows Tuesday morning could be upper 50's around the northern Piedmont NC, with highs statewide mostly 80's (instead of 90s!)

Temperatures could dip into the 50's in North Carolina, even outside the mountains especially around the northern piedmont near Winston Salem to Greensboro on Tuesday Morning.  The lower humidity will be the really noticeable change. Enjoy!

Before this hits, we have a couple more days of daily afternoon thunderstorm chances. Friday, Saturday and Sunday should all 3 deliver more heat, haze and humidity, with scattered storm coverage, so if you haven't been hit yet, you still have a chance.  Once the cooler and drier air gets in next week, we'll have a few days of storm-free skies, before the heat and humidity come back, and we resume "regular" Summer weather.
