Cloudy and Cooler

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to rumble around the High Country through early evening.

Clouds clear out tomorrow afternoon but there still could be a renegade shower or two. We have excellent weather coming up for next week. Monday and Tuesday will be warm but there will be lots of sun and only small chances of rain. It cools down Wednesday and we will have some nice fall like weather through the end of the week.

Forecast Discussion

Enough dry air works in by tomorrow afternoon to clear most of the clouds but the air mass is just unstable enough to produce a spotty shower or thundershower.

High pressure will control our weather Monday through the rest of the week. Some cooler air moves in Wednesday dropping our temperatures to near average. Monday and Tuesday will see warm temperatures. Not much chance of rain this week so get out and enjoy the comfortable fall like weather.

Tropical Storm Humberto is over the northeastern Bahamas currently. Humberto is expected to become a hurricane by Monday but will remain well offshore of the US. Humberto takes a sharp northeast and easterly turn before it gets too close to the US so there will only be indirect effects along the southeast coast, i.e. rough surf.
