Clouds got the better of our skies this morning, but sunshine has taken over to close out March’s first weekend. Lows will dip back into the 40s and 50s overnight as we kick off the workweek. Variable clouds and patchy fog will develop by the time we wake up on Monday. An area of low pressure will ride along the Carolina coastline Monday afternoon, which could throw more clouds and a few showers into our eastern counties, but most spots will stay dry with peeks of sunshine as highs top out in the 60s and lower 70s. Tuesday may end up a bit warmer as wind shift in a more southerly direction, although mostly cloudy skies will stick around as a rainmaking system approaches from the west.
Showers and storms will pour into the Carolinas overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Nothing looks especially concerning right now, but heavy rain is possible as we round into midweek. Thursday looks to be the pick of the litter this week as sunshine erupts across our area, but the exceptional weather will be short-lived. A second storm system arrives by Friday night and lasts into the first half of the weekend. Heavy rain may also accompany this system; models are suggesting we see 2-4″ of rain across our area through Saturday evening, with the vast majority falling on Wednesday and Friday.
