As some light rain moves in tonight, it's the start of an unsettled stretch! Not an all-weekend washout, just scattered showers & a few storms at times. Breezy, too. Temps stay on the cooler side as rain chances roll into next week. Queen City News #cltwx #ncwx #scwx

Tropical Storm #Gordon Advisory 9: Depression Strengthens Into Tropical Storm Gordon. hurricanes.gov

Breezy conditions over the next couple of days. Should settle down a bit by Tuesday and much calmer on Wednesday.

Watching an area of low pressure offshore, which will increase our rain chances for Monday and Tuesday. Tough forecast as models are not in agreement on the direction and speed of that area of low pressure. Hard to say how far west rain will travel right now.
