Not As Warm Over the Next 7 Days. More Opportunities for Showers and Storms to Come. Potential Major Rain Event Down the Road.

Things have certainly been wet across parts of the region as showers and storms moved through, putting down some beneficial rainfall so thankfully, the increased chances for rain did come to past.  Some areas, such as Charlotte, finally received the first true rain event after remaining dry for quite a while.  Luckily we appear to have more chances on the way as we get into the weekend and through next week as well.  Temperatures don't look to be as warm (70s instead of 80s-low 90s) so things should feel more comfortable across the Southeast instead of dealing with early Summer heat.

Long-range suggesting the development of a cut-off in the Southeast sometime next week, which holds potential to put down some serious rain totals and if that were to verify, it will definitely aid in drought relief where it's needed (talking 1 to possibly 4 inch rain totals) per recent runs of the GFS.  Nothing in stone yet but bears watching over the next several days.
