Comfortable days across NC this week (2024)

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS TWICE A YEAR TO. YES, YES. ALL RIGHT. I WANT TO TELL YOU SWITCH GEARS ON YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT. THERE’S SOMETHING REALLY COOL TO SEE IN THE SKY. AND THERE’S TWO THINGS ACTUALLY. AND THEY’RE BOTH MAN MADE. SO WE ALL KNOW THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS ORBITING THE EARTH ABOUT 250 MILES UP. AND I LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN THAT’S GOING TO BE VISIBLE. SO YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE RIGHT TIME. WELL, THERE’S ASTRONAUTS UP THERE LIVING AND WORKING, AND THEY CONSTANTLY NEED SUPPLIES. SO OCCASIONALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ACROSS THE WORLD WILL LAUNCH RESUPPLY SHIPS. AND ONE OF THOSE LAUNCHES IS GOING TO OCCUR IN KAZAKHSTAN LATER THIS HOUR. IF YOU WANT TO CHECK IT OUT, I THINK YOU CAN SEE IT LIVE ON NASA’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL, AMONG OTHER PLACES. BUT THE SPACE STATION ITSELF IS GOING TO MAKE A PRETTY LOW PASS LATER ON THIS EVENING, 23 DEGREES ABOVE THE HORIZON. IF YOU HAVE TALL TREES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THIS. BUT IN CASE YOU DON’T, 9:51 P.M. IT MAKES A FOUR MINUTE PASS. THAT’S THE SPACE STATION THAT RESUPPLY SHIP IS CALLED PROGRESS 88. THAT IS GOING TO PASS BY NEARLY DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. SAID JUST AFTER 9:00 THIS EVENING FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. IT IS A RUSSIAN, OR AT LEAST A KAZAKHSTAN SPACE CRAFT THAT IS GOING TO MOVE OVERHEAD OVER THE UNITED STATES. AND YOU’LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT AS IT MAKES A PASS. PRETTY COOL. CLEAR SKIES LATER ON THIS EVENING. A VERY GOOD VIEW OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION TOMORROW NIGHT, ABOUT 45 DEGREES OR ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE HORIZON. THAT’S ALSO STARTS AT 902, ABOUT 14 MINUTES AFTER THAT, PROGRESS 88 WILL BE CLOSER TO THE SHIP AS THEY APPROACH A DOCK SOMETIME, EITHER LATE FRIDAY OR EARLY SATURDAY. IF I UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS CORRECTLY. SO PRETTY COOL. YOU CAN SEE THE ISS MAKE A PASS. YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER RESUPPLY SPACECRAFT MAKE A PASS ALL IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SO THAT’S PRETTY AWESOME. UNDER A CLEAR SKIES AND GOOD VIEWING CONDITIONS TO HAD A FRONT COME THROUGH, WE’VE GOT SOME DRY AIR PUSHING IN OUT OF THE NORTH. THIS IS THE SECOND BATCH OF CANADIAN AIR THAT’S GOING TO HELP REALLY ADD SOME REFRESHING CONDITIONS TO OUR AREA. HIGH PRESSURE, THAT CENTER OF THAT AIR MASS REALLY PUMPING IN SOME LOW HUMIDITY. DEW POINTS HAVE FALLEN ALL THE WAY TO THE UPPER 40S. THIS MORNING. THERE IS A NOTICEABLE CHILL IN THE AIR THIS MORNING THAT HAS BEEN ABSENT THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, WITH THE HIGHER HUMIDITY THAT’S BEEN IN PLACE. SO AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE DEW POINTS ARE GOING TO PLAY OUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT DRY KIND OF SANDY BROWN CONTOUR THAT YOU SEE REPRESENTS SOME OF THE DRIER AIR THAT WE SEE. THE MOISTURE IS GETTING SQUEEZED TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE WEST. BUT AS WE GO INTO THE LAST FEW FRAMES HERE SATURDAY AND OVER THE WEEKEND, YOU CAN SEE IT STARTS TO BUILD BACK GRADUALLY. DEW POINTS CLIMB THROUGH THE 40S INTO THE 50S AND SHOULD BE BACK INTO THE HUMID 60S. AS WE HEAD INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. SO ENJOY IT WHILE IT’S HERE. THIS DRY AIR IS REALLY GOING TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR SOME NICER FEELING WEATHER. GOOD SUNSHINE EARLY ON, FEW EXTRA CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER TODAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S LATER ON IN THE FOOTHILLS, A HIGH OF 76 DEGREES NORTH NORTHWEST WINDS AT 5 TO 10 AND FOR THE MOUNTAINS, HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S, WITH A NORTHWEST BREEZE AT ABOUT 10 TO 15MPH. SO NICE WEATHER ACROSS THE BOARD. ROCKERS ARE BACK IN ACTION TONIGHT. 6.35 FIRST PITCH A BEAUTIFUL EVENING FOR BASEBALL, BUT FOR THE LATER INNINGS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER GETTING A SWEATSHIRT OUT. NASH SAME SITUATION HOSTING HICKORY ONCE AGAIN, A DRY EVENING. THAT’S A 7:00 FIRST PITCH, SO THAT GAME LIKELY GOING A LITTLE BIT LATER TONIGHT. TOMORROW SHOULD BE THE COOLEST DAY OF THE WEEK. WE GOT A COUPLE OF MORNING LOWS, WILL BE IN THE LOWER 50S, BUT WE’RE BACK CLOSE TO 80 ON SATURDAY AND THEN BACK WEL
