“Rainy Weekend?“
By Gannon Medwick
Friday, August 03, 2007
Adding weekend rain chances to my forecasts always comes with some trepidation. It’s the weekend! You probably don’t want it to rain. I don’t want it to rain. But if it might rain, it might rain. I have to call it as I see it (even if it doesn’t look as pretty on the 7-Day).
This weekend, you’ll notice a new 20% chance for thunderstorms on the Sunday panel of the 7-Day Forecast. It appears that the high pressure system that has brought and will continue to bring hot and dry weather may give up a little ground late Sunday. Some forecast models I look at are starting to more strongly suggest that thunderstorms may develop in the Ohio Valley and move southeast – around the high – into VA and NC at that time.
So, though I still feel most places in Eastern NC will have a completely dry, hot weekend, some needed raindrops may just be able to sneak into the picture later Sunday and Sunday night. As always, please stay tuned!
Feel free to respond to this blog! Which day of the week do you most enjoy rain and why? Does it even matter? At this point in a dry 2007, would you be happy with rain of any kind? I look forward to reading your comments.
Take care,
Gannon
