Pleasant Tuesday, increasing chance of rain in North Carolina

CAROLINA RIGHT NOW. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE THIS RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING UP OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE TRYING TO COME IN AS CLOUDS. THIS MORNING IT WAS REALLY REFRESHING AND IT WAS 13 DEGREES IN REIDSVILLE, WE HAD 12 DEGREES IN MARTINSVILLE, UP TO 14 DEGREES IN MOUNT AIRY AND 13 DEGREES UP IN HILLSVILLE. SO VERY NICE WEATHER THERE, 15 DEGREES EVERYWHERE FROM GREENSBORO TO BURLINGTON AND TEMPERATURES ARE JUST BACK UP TO 21 DEGREES. WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKIES TODAY AND SOME CLOUDS COULD BUILD UP LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. YOU'LL NOTICE A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE COMING IN THROUGH THE MID-ELEMENTS, BUT ON THE SURFACE WE'LL FEEL FINE. WE HAVE THAT DEW POINT SITUATION THAT'S DESIGNED FOR US AND HAS TAKEN US DOWN TO THE LOW TEENS AGAIN. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DRYING FROM THE NORTHEAST TO NORTH CAROLINA. YOU KNOW, NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS GEORGIA. THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL AT 15 AND 20 GRAMS WHERE IT FEELS A LITTLE MORE SAFE WHEN YOU COMBINE THAT WITH THE TEMPERATURES IN THE HEAT. NOW OF COURSE DRY CONDITIONS. OUT IN DENVER 37 GRAMS AS A DEW POINT. THAT'S SUPER DRY. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST ENJOYING THESE 100S DEW POINTS AND FEEL COMFORTABLE AFTER THE SUMMER. JUST A REMINDER, SINCE JUNE 1ST, WE HAVE HAD RAINFALLS, OVER 48 INCHES, ABOUT 18 INCHES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER OF JUNE 1ST TO SEPTEMBER 1ST, AND AN EXTREME 36.5 DEGREES. THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR SO FAR WAS JULY 15TH AND THE 33RD, WHICH WAS THE WARMEST DAY AT 30 DEGREES FOR OUR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES. AND OF COURSE THE MONTHLY AVERAGE TEMPERATURES OVERALL ARE A LITTLE WARMER, THE 12TH WARMEST. SO LOOKS GOOD. SO OUR MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES WERE PRETTY WARM TOO. THERE ARE POLLEN COUNTS OUT THERE. THE TREES ARE MODERATE. THIS WEEK. ALSO THE GRASS IS SMALL AND THE WEEDS ARE SMALL. BUT WE'RE MONITORING THAT, OF COURSE, IN ADDITION TO SOME OF THE AIR QUALITY CONCERNS WE HAD LAST WEEK. BUT WITH THIS NEW AIR MASS, WE HAVE GOOD AIR QUALITY TODAY AND TEMPERATURES IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE 18 KİL, WITH THE WINDS GENERALLY FROM THE EAST AND NORTHEAST, AND WE'RE ALSO SEEING TEMPERATURES IN THE FOOTHILLS WITH A NORTHEAST BREEZE OF ABOUT 13 TO 32 KİL. AND 24 DEGREES. NEAR 24 KİL THERE, IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD. THERE IS A LITTLE WINDY IN THE EYE. THOSE WINDS SHOULD EASE A LITTLE LATER IN THE EVENING HOURS. BUT AS TOMORROW GOES ON THE CLOUDS WILL BUILD UP. AND THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN OUR HOURLY FORECAST. YOU CAN SEE THE 20 DEGREES OUT THERE TODAY. LATE EVENING WE'LL BRING THE CLOUDS BACK, SO ENJOY A LITTLE OF THAT BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY. AND THEN TOMORROW YOU'LL HAVE TEMPERATURES AROUND 10 DEGREES AND BACK TO 20 DEGREES BY NOON. TOMORROW TEMPERATURES COULD EVEN BE A DEGREES OR TWO BELOW THE LOWEST IN SPOTS. AND THERE MAY BE SOME SPOTS OF SHOWERS. I THINK IT'S STILL GOING TO REMAIN DRY FOR MOST OF US. IF WE CAN FIND SOMETHING ON THE GROUND, THAT WOULD BE IMPRESSIVE. OK, SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TROPICAL TRACKING, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT IT IN A BRIEF. AND WE HAVE A 40 PERCENT CHANCE THAT THIS SYSTEM, WHICH IS JUST BEHIND THE ONE WE'VE BEEN WATCHING, COULD BECOME A SYSTEM WITHIN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. SO THE WATCHING AREAS IN THE TROPICS AND THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. WE ARE WATCHING THE CHANCE OF RAIN SLOWLY RETURNING FOR THE WEEKEND. SATURDAY LOOKS BETTER FOR THE CHANCE OF RAIN. IT'S WARMER WITH TEMPORARY 80S BUT ON SUNDAY IT'S BACK TO 78 WITH ONLY A SMALL CHANCE OF A PASSING RAIN. So overall still looking good, V
