Catching Up

It has been since Sunday when I posted last here and it was to discuss the many possibilities of Fay. Well it is almost Friday as I write this and Fay is still an issue. The models that had Fay stalling and drifting back west across Florida were correct. To put in perspective, Fay has dropped rainfall amounts over 2 feet locally in east central Florida Fay is currently sitting along the coast of Florida and will begin to track westward across Florida into the panhandle. Eventually the remnants will move back into the SE states of Alabama, Georgia, and parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. The question then becomes does her remnant circulation and moisture move NE towards the drought stricken areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, and North Georgia. Stay Tuned..

Closer to home, we have had relatively quiet weather, except a few showers/storms that formed on Wednesday evening dropping close to a half inch of rain at RDU. Temperatures have been normal to slightly above normal as well since last Friday. (Normal high is 87 now). I expect temperatures to be near 63 in the morning with a low overcast developing to a the low level easterly flow. This should burn off quickly though and temperatures should reach the middle 80s tomorrow with a high near 86. A very similar day is in store for Saturday and a little bit warmer on Sunday with a high closer to 88. Friday and Saturday evenings look to be extremely comfortable for this time of year with temperatures hovering near 70 early dropping to the low and middle 60s overnight.
