Typical Summer Weather Business

We get about the business of typical June weather this week, as we enjoy seasonable levels of warmth and humidity. These ingredients will give rise to scattered to occasionally numerous PM showers and thunderstorms every afternoon through Thursday. We might get into a drier patch for Friday and Saturday, before widely-scattered PM thunderstorms return by Sunday afternoon.

Forecast Discussion

Western North Carolina will be devoid of significant frontal passages during this period, but we will be loosely affected by a nearly-stationary front that will be oscillating east-west through the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic states just about all week. There will be a number of weak upper-level impulses that will be traversing near or just south of the front, and these could enhance our coverage of showers and thunderstorms, centered on the afternoon and evening hours.

Scattered activity is expected each afternoon, with maybe the best coverage days coming Tuesday and Thursday. The passage of a weak front or surface trough may provide a couple of dry days for Friday and Saturday, with widely-separated PM showers and thunderstorms making a return by the end of next weekend.

After relatively cool and dry weather last week, temperatures and humidity levels will be returning back to near to above-normal this week.
