Today's (Friday's) blogpost is a bit later than normal, but there's good weather news! First, Mecklenburg County sites received some welcome rain yesterday and this morning. Totals of 0.35", 0.60", 0.71", and 0.92" were recorded in rain gauges respectively in Chase City, Boydton, Clarksville, and South Hill. That's good news during this dry period.
The moisture from this morning's rain was provided by remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur, which formed near the Texas coast and fostered lots of flooding along the Gulf states. This was the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. Another round of rain will arrive Monday, but this will be courtesy of a typical mid-latitude low pressure rather than a tropical system.
Meanwhile, both Saturday and Sunday look to feature glorious sunny weather. Tomorrow will begin with temperatures near 60ยบ before afternoon highs climb to the mid-80s. Sunday will be a bit warmer, with local thermometers rising from the mid-60s and topping out in the low 90s.
And in case folks were wondering, here's the list of 2026 tropical cyclone names for the Atlantic basin:
