FORECAST:

• The week ahead will be somewhat more changeable with a daily shower or thunderstorm threat and not as hot with the big story being that potential tropical system we’ve been talking about for days.
• Today marks the autumnal equinox, but it will be feeling much more like summertime across the Carolinas.
• Highs will trend a little bit cooler over the next couple of days, but humidity will stay high so it will still be feeling as if temperatures will be close to the upper 90s if not triple digits.
• There is a developing low that will be bringing in some shower and thunderstorm chances by mid-day Monday and that chance for rain will continue throughout the workweek.

Tropics:

• Regardless of future development of the low in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea, widespread rain across the southeast is expected next weekend.
• There is another tropical wave that appears to be picking up intensity in the Eastern Atlantic. The NHC has given this a medium chance (40%) of development.
