00:00All right, let's take you to the southeast now.
00:02Weekend storms really impacted football games and festivals.
00:06In South Carolina, the Clemson game was temporarily suspended
00:09and fans made the most of the wet weather
00:11with some slippery fun inside Memorial Stadium there.
00:14But then if we go over to Georgia, here we go.
00:20Similar situation, but different location.
00:22The Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta had to be evacuated Saturday evening
00:25because of severe weather.
00:26So festival goers had some fun in the rainy conditions
00:29by sliding through the muddy grass.
00:31I'm not sure this is what event organizers have in mind
00:34when they're like, we need to evacuate because of safety,
00:37but I'm glad people had fun.
00:38It's like a slip and slide.
00:39Yes.
00:39Yeah, very good stuff there.
00:41Making some memories there in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:43Well, hey, we actually could use some of this rain in some of these areas.
00:47We've been dealing with drought, and a moderate drought continues
00:49in coastal areas like Savannah and Charleston,
00:52Savannah, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina.
00:54Severe drought still in Raleigh, North Carolina.
00:56So the rain's a welcome thing.
00:58Now we're dealing with some severe weather, though, in some spots, too,
01:01through this evening.
01:02There are some severe storms in eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia,
01:06western parts of Virginia.
01:07If you're east of the Blue Ridge in central Virginia, it's cooler, more stable.
01:12But to the west of the mountains there,
01:13and in between the Blue Ridge and the spine of the heart of the southern Appalachians,
01:18still very warm, still humid.
01:20And we're going to be dealing with more of these strong storms
01:22into areas like north Georgia into the evening hours.
01:24Some risk of severe weather, damaging wind, and flash flooding are our main concerns.
01:28A lot of us are going to see another round of scattered storms tomorrow afternoon,
01:32especially after 2 or 3 p.m. in the southeast.
01:34And it's still going to be warm for many of us,
01:36but there's a contrast that begins to win out.
01:38So we're going to be in the upper 80s to the mid-90s.
01:41Jackson, 94.
01:42Montgomery, 92.
01:43Scattered storms the final afternoon of summer in Nashville.
01:47But look at what's going on to the east.
01:49We're beginning to see a bit of a change.
01:51And I have an animation to tell you about that here with our winds in just a moment.
01:56But first off, scattered storms still continue into the Cumberland Plateau
01:59and other areas tomorrow into Georgia, into the Carolinas every afternoon.
02:04This is going to be different, though, into Wednesday and Thursday as we zoom in.
02:08This is the beginning of that coastal storm that Anna talked about.
02:11And this is going to be dreary and not thunderstorm-driven,
02:15but just really dreary rain, cooler air, and more stable into Raleigh.
02:18So we begin to get into a different type of pattern with that cool, more stable air rolling in.
02:26And you'll begin to see the wind strengthening from the northeast across the eastern Carolinas.
02:31That's a weather pattern that generally is what we call a wedge,
02:35a wedge of cooler air east of the mountains where you get this cool, stable air.
02:41Cool air is dense.
02:42It hugs the ground.
02:43It can't ascend over the mountains all that well.
02:46So if you're east of the spine of the mountains, it's going to be dreary, cool,
02:48and feeling more like late October here for some of you in the Carolinas.
02:51But the heat holds farther to the west.
