BREEZY CONDITIONS DEVELOP TODAY AND ESPECIALLY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY ON SOUTHWEST FLOW… INCREASINGLY SUNNY SKIES RESULT THRU THE NEXT 3 DAYS WITH DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS…
Good morning folks, yours truly did not sleep last night, so I am going to ask you to read through the Nutshell below this post to get the details of our upcoming weather. The basic story is this: increasing temps and sunshine starts today and runs through Wednesday with a peak of temps and southwest wind gusts by Tuesday with mostly dry conditions through Tuesday evening.
Showers will arrive for Wednesday morning, and more rain is expected by Thursday afternoon into the night with thunder possible as temps cool down through late week.
I’ll post a full report tomorrow morning after I get some sleep, which I’m going to go do right now – Sleepy Sunday, I’ll call it!
Have a great day!

–Lows dive into the mid to upper 30s with a light west wind tonight
–High temps increase Monday with high pressure tracking east through the Southeast U.S. and offshore to our south
–This produces southwest flow, sunnier skies, and warming highs into the 60s to low 70s, followed by lows in the mid to upper 40s

–Clouds thicken Tuesday night as a cold front tracks east
–Lows will hang in the low to mid 50s, so Tuesday night looks MILD

–Highs on Wednesday will reach well into the 60s, and showers should last into the afternoon with some thunder possible
–We’ll taper off showers by Wednesday night at some point with lows in the 40s
–Thursday morning may start off on the drier side behind the front
–Highs will only reach the upper 40s to upper 50s Thursday and Friday
