Today’s Forecast
☀️ Mostly dry with mostly to partly sunny skies
⛰️ A stray mountain shower or storm possible this afternoon

Latest on Tropical Depression Nine
🌊 Still disorganized with winds steady at 35 mph; strengthening into a tropical storm has been delayed
🌀 Latest trends show it stalling farther south before turning eastward
🌧️ Moisture well north of the center will still bring rain to coastal areas
🌦 Locally: just scattered showers expected Monday into Tuesday

27/09/2025

The latest update on Tropical Depression Nine—future Imelda—shows it stalling before turning out to sea toward Bermuda. This is likely due to the strength and faster forward speed of Hurricane Humberto, which will open a weakness in the atmosphere for Nine to track eastward.

Unfortunately for Bermuda, they may feel impacts from both Humberto and Imelda in a short time span.

For us here in the Carolinas, plenty of moisture will stream in well ahead of Nine’s center. That means periods of rain are likely, but the flooding threat for our area looks lower. Along the coast, however, storm surge and dangerous rip currents are likely to last several days into next week, leading to coastal flooding.

If Invest 94L—or future Imelda—continues on its current track, makes landfall, and then stalls or slows over central South Carolina, that would place the heaviest rainfall over our area. That’s why models like the GFS and Euro are showing concerning totals. This is the worst-case scenario and would only happen if future Imelda moves faster than Humberto.

On the other hand, the best-case scenario would bring little to no impact if future Imelda slows down and Humberto moves faster, pulling it out to sea before landfall, which some models still suggest.

As of the 8 AM advisory, Invest 94L is moving WNW at 10 mph, while Humberto is slower, drifting NW at 3 mph.

The blended model average through next week shows about 2–4 inches of rain—enough to cause flash flooding in spots, but not as widespread.

24/09/2025

As we head into the afternoon, thunderstorm coverage will be isolated to scattered (30 to 40%). We may see chances increase a bit late this evening into the overnight hours with the storm activity over in central Tennessee.

The front will be closer to our region for Thursday. With enough wind shear in the atmosphere, a few storms may produce some damaging wind gusts tomorrow.

19/09/2025

A couple of showers and thunderstorms are popping up this afternoon. We could see a few more developing for the rest of the afternoon before they begin to dissipate closer or after sunset. Temperatures feeling like late summer in the 80s.

12/09/2025

Temperatures pretty consistent the next several days. Highs on either side of 80 degrees with morning lows in the 50s to low 60s. Other than a stray mountain shower or storm, mostly dry conditions will continue through the weekend.

We'll keep an eye on next week as a developing cut-off upper low may try to bring moisture back into the area, but where exactly is still uncertain, so rain chances remain at low confidence for now.

07/09/2025

Clouds will break through the afternoon. Afternoon temperatures will be cooler than yesterday. Highs in the 60s across the higher elevations, 70s elsewhere.

04/09/2025

If you're seeing the storms, you are cooling off. We got 60s from rain cooled air. If you haven't seen any rain, you're still warm in the 70s & 80s. Storms will continue this evening, with a few having some severe wind gusts of 60 mph.

28/08/2025

Despite some clouds lingering this evening, overnight lows will still be on the cool and comfortable side in the 40s across the higher terrain and 50s elsewhere.

24/08/2025

The break from the summer humidity and heat starts tomorrow. Mornings lows will be in the 50s & 60s for Monday but cooling down to the 40s & 50s by Tuesday morning.

19/08/2025

Showers and thunderstorms will continue this evening as east to northeast winds bring in moisture. Rain chances become more isolated overnight as a weak cool air wedge sets up.

Clouds linger into Tuesday, but with high pressure shifting east, the wedge won’t last long. Temperatures will be a bit cooler than recent days, but still warm, topping out in the 80s.
