...Less Showers; More Heat...

GOOD MORNING: Well, the closed circulation of the upper level low that
we have been tracking for the past couple of days over Georgia and the
Carolinas has opened up. There still is a trough of low pressure
along the East Coast, but the weakening of the low means that
departure of the extra instability that we have been experiencing for
the past couple of days. Less instability means less showers and
storms and more heat. In fact, we will call for rain chances near zero
today and average temperatures near 89. A few locations will see
highs at 90 or a little above. Things will be even warmer tomorrow,
with highs in the lower 90s.

WEAK FRONT AHEAD: High pressure over southern Canada is beginning to
flex its muscles and will move southward over the next 48 ours,
pushing a cold front southward. The front will arrive during the
overnight hours tonight, but it won't be accompanied by much in the
way of weather. The high pressure system will ridge back into the
southeast tomorrow, giving us another fine, but hot day.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The remnants of our upper level circulation
tries to make a comeback Friday and swings around the southern side of
the subtropical ridge that will extend into the Southeast from the
western Atlantic. This will weaken the ridge enough to allow a more
southeasterly flow and an increase in moisture, as well as a
corresponding rise in shower and storm chances. Those rain chances
will be about one in three right on through the weekend and into next
week. Weekend temperatures will be right around normal.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: The largest hailstone ever in U.S. history fell
near Aurora, NE. The giant stone measured 18 3/4 inches in
circumference and seven inches in diameter. Confirmed by the National
Climatic Data Center, the stone surpassed the famed 1970 stone that
fell near Coffeyville, KS. The hail punched twelve inch craters in
lawns and volleyball sized holes in roofs across the area.
