Forecast Last Updated at Monday, August 15, 2022 at 1:31PM
Big Pattern Shift
Low pressure moves from Eastern Kentucky to South Carolina with an associated front. The front will stall to our south then drift closer by the weekend. Expect much cooler temperatures, lots of clouds, and no day has no potential rain. Today, expect areas of fog, a lull in the rain early; then scattered showers and thunderstorms redevelop late morning through early evening. Shower coverage is less tomorrow but scattered, mostly afternoon coverage is still in play.

Forecast Discussion
Low pressure with an associated front moves southeastward across the Southern Appalachians today. It stalls to our south and remains there during the workweek. Next weekend, it drifts back to the north in our direction.
The primary themes this week are more clouds, cooler than average temperatures during the daytime (clouds keep temperatures up at night), and potential for rain each day (but some more than others). It's a tough forecast week overall.
Today had morning fog and a lull in the rain early. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms late-morning until early evening.
Tuesday's through Friday's shower/thundershower coverage is more "hit and miss". Tuesday has less rain than today, but scattered mostly afternoon showers and thundershowers are in play. Wednesday through Friday, we made a cautious call for "widely scattered" mostly afternoon showers and thundershowers; however, one of those days could be even less ("isolated").
As the front drifts back to the north next weekend, coverage and intensity of showers/thundershowers increases.
