Not Long Now

Our change is looming.

It is still two days away, but we are getting there! It is STILL looking like it will be TUESDAY before the cold front reaches us... bringing the return of showers and thunderstorms. Here is the latest model data to back that up:

And we are seeing signs that the rain could begin earlier... perhaps in the afternoon.

Now, however, it does look like the front will continue well south of KC. So that means a cooler airmass will settle in for a few days of dry, pleasant weather!! :)

Then, as the warm air returns next weekend... we could see another shot of rain.

So what IS going on with HURRICANE OPHELIA?! Oh, yes... she IS still out there... probably sitting close to the same spot she was the last time you checked! ;) This storm has been pretty much stationary for almost 24 hours... it's still off the coast of the Carolinas. In being so, it has weakened slightly... and is barely a Cat. 1. Winds are 75mph sustained, with higher gusts. Here is a look at the satellite:

The forecasted path takes Ophelia across the North Carolina coastline... the Outer Banks may take a beach-erosion beating:

Hope you had a great weekend! See ya tomorrow!
