Now that I am back home in East Tennessee, I hope to keep up the blogging. It was a wet Mother's Day here in at home, but beginning today and looking forward through the weekend, things are drying out, warming up, and making for a fantastic time to get outside and enjoy God's Creation.
The shortwave(s) that moved through the South over the weekend are finally pushing north east, and exiting the region, there is one small wave of energy that could bring us some convection later on Wednesday, but that is a very slight chance, otherwise, the atmosphere will continue to become more stable. The dew points will remain in the upper 50s to low 60s across much of the South, so things will be a little muggy, but it is May. Moisture should be on the rise here in the South at this time of year. Without the clouds and rain, and the sun shining on us, the temperatures will rise from the mid-60s this past weekend into the low-mid 80s by Saturday. Very pleasant and summer-like conditions are on their way to us. Even better than the summer though because I do not expect any pop-up showers or T-storms to develop in the afternoons.
The next real chance for any precipitation is looking to makes its appearance in our area on Tuesday according to the GFS, this would be the earliest I think it would arrive, and it will be another cutoff low associated with a shortwave off of an upper-level trough that will track over the weekend from California to Quebec, Canada.
