.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 1253 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

Low pressure continues to swirl over the western Carolinas
bringing some cloud cover to the area. In addition, some fog is
being observed over the plateau. This will continue through the
early morning hours. A sprinkle cannot be ruled out along the
plateau today, but for the most part it will be a dry day with
highs west of the plateau a degree or two warmer than Monday. For
those along the plateau, it will be markedly warmer given Monday
was rather cool. Some patchy fog will be possible again tonight
for the entire area.

Ridging will begin building into the area from the south and west
on Thursday and temperatures will respond accordingly. A couple
locations may hit 90 degrees but for the most part, we`ll be in
the mid to upper 80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday Night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1253 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

Ridging continues to strengthen on Friday and maintain itself
through the weekend. A few mid 90 degree readings will be possible
especially on Saturday. The ridging will flatten out as we go into
next week which may allow for a couple isolated storms on Monday
and Tuesday along with highs in the 80s instead of 90s. As far as
organized rain chances, it may be until at least mid next week
before we see some better chances.
