Low pressure developing well off the Carolinas coast will remain nearly stationary through the end of the week, and then get pushed northeast this weekend by a cold front. Drier air wrapping around this developing system should help to cut down on our rain chances through Friday. There still is a slight chance of a downpour in the afternoon, though. Highs will be in the low 90s through Friday, then should drop into the upper 80s by Sunday as onshore breezes develop behind the front. Rain chances will likely increase over the weekend and into next week.
Tropics:
The system mentioned above could develop slowly, but will be no threat to our area as it will move northeast this weekend.
A system about halfway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles has a chance to develop some the next few days, though conditions are not entirely favorable aloft. It is very far south (near 10 deg. latitude) and figures to continue moving mainly west into the Caribbean this weekend.
Lunar Eclipse:
Here are some pictures taken by Melanie Burney in Baxley of Tuesday morning's total lunar eclipse. Thanks, Melanie!
