Return to Wet Weather Pattern...

After a pleasant and mild start to the week, this week will end on a wet note. Quite a bit of rain is expected over the southeast over the next several days....

The above graphic is a forecast from the National Weather Service for the amount of rainfall expected across the country over the next 5 days. The heaviest rains are forecast over the Gulf coast states where over 5 inches of rain is possible in some spots. While we do not expect that much here in the Carolinas, our area could see up to a couple of inches over the next 5 days.

Our rain chances will begin late Wednesday when a few sprinkles of rain or light rain showers will be possible. Look for the rain to pick up for Thursday and Friday. We may get a break in the rain late Friday into Saturday before a front pushes through the state over the weekend. The timing on that front is still uncertain at the moment but it could bring another round of rain including thunderstorms late Saturday or early Sunday.

Stay tuned to News 14 Carolina and Weather on the Ones for the latest forecasts through the week...
