Multiple Emmy Award winner for Weather Broadcasts. Also, have been voted as Charlotte's Best by various publications around Charlotte. American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval. But the biggest honor for me happens every day when someone turns on WBTV and gives me a chance to inform them about upcoming weather. Thank you for that opportunity. I'll do my best never to let you down!!
Already over an inch of rain has fallen across most of the Charlotte/Mecklenburg area with other areas west of Charlotte toward the foothills picking up two or more inches of rain.
Waves of rain and embedded storms begin to arrive throughout the second half of the day Friday, lasting for the most part throughout all of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Disruptive showers and storms continue to increase over the central sections of the country and they are heading our way with the first wave of rain with embedded thunderstorms showing up tomorrow.
After another fine June day, we’ll continue the warm and dry pattern into the first half of the upcoming week. But for those of you looking for rain, your day is coming and possibly in a big way.
After a hectic day of severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings across the region, the weekend should see far less turbulent weather and best of all temperatures returning to seasonal levels with highs staying below 90 degrees for the foreseeable future.
The humidity returned Thursday and the heat roared back on Friday as highs surged into the 90s. Official high on Friday was 93° with the record high 95° set in 1939.
The first sign of our impending heat wave arrived on Thursday with the sudden increase in humidity. In fact, dewpoints hit 70 for the first time this year which is considered to be entering a Tropical Airmass category. Now comes the high heat!
After a delightful break from the heat on Wednesday with daytime temperatures remaining in the 70s for most of the day, lookout, because this time even hotter air is moving our way as we will be flirting with record highs throughout the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend.
Average highs this time of year have just now reached 80 degrees but throw that out the window because we’ll be hovering in the mid 90s(!) during this Memorial Day weekend.
Our return to Spring weather rolls on with another sunny and mild day on tap for Wednesday as highs for the third straight day will remain in the delightful 70s.
Our high of 78 degrees on Monday will be eclipsed Tuesday and Wednesday with even cooler daytime temperatures, in the low and mid 70s with more sunshine riding along.
Thursday was an exciting day for meteorologists and weather geeks of all stripes around the greater Charlotte region as the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron from Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, MS (better known as the famed ‘Hurricane Hunters’) paid a visit to spread the word of weather safety
A First Alert Day has been issued for Saturday with a line of strong storms expected to develop to our west late during the afternoon and towards the evening.
Friday’s weather map will likely end up looking a whole lot like Thursday with another round of storms for the mountains and foothills, but few, if any storms are likely to slam into the Charlotte area.
