Weather warming up a bit for the duration of this week on the Eastern Seaboard!

We had some beautiful fall weather last week and over the weekend with high temperatures in the 60s and lows in the 30s and 40s in the Raleigh area, but throughout the rest of this work week we can expect warmer highs and lows until the cold front moves through on Friday. Today the high is looking to be in the low 70s and the low temperature to be in the low to mid 50s. We can expect fog this morning with decreasing cloud cover throughout the day and only about a 10% chance of precipitation for the duration of the afternoon. We can also be expecting a breeze to the SW, SSW at about 5 mph in the mid afternoon.

Here is the current Radar for NC:


Winter seems to have replaced fall in the northern Midwest as cold temperatures and winter weather are now seen on a daily basis. NW Nebraska and SW South Dakota are currently both under a winter weather advisory, and a few central counties in North Dakota are under a freezing rain advisory.

Here is the national forecast loop for the next 7 days: http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/day0-7loop.html

I would say that it's all quiet on the western front, but Tropical Storm Raymond is still dumping rain in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico. It is expected to weaken to a depression today though and die out soon after that. The hurricane season is just about over, and because of the cooling mid-latitude and tropical waters, chances of seeing a late-season storm is increasingly unlikely, but still possible.




If you would like to see more forecasts for the coming days and on a daily basis, one of my good friends Chris Michaels has a facebook page on which he posts regularly. Just look up "Chris Michaels" on facebook and you should see a picture of a classy looking fellow wearing a suit; that's him! Like his page and I can assure you that you will know the weather for the day, even on the days I don't post.
