Pretty quiet morning for us this morning. Here is is a look at current temperatures. 72 in Southern Pines and rocky mount as well as south hill. 73 in erwin and fayetteville. The choser the two are, the less sticky and muggy it feels. Our air mass almost saturated this morning so when you step outside, you can really feel the mugginess in the air. You would think as muggy as it is, that all we need to do is heat things up a little bit this afternoon and we would have some thunderstorms. In general, that is the way it works around here. Here is what is happening instead. We have a High Pressure system, the bermuda high, that likes to hang out near the island of bermuda. Every once in a while, here what is it does. We have plenty of flow of moisture coming in off the atlantic. The High Pressure system is bringing sinking air and that puts a cap or a lid on any thunderstorms developing. So our chance of that today is very slim. Once you get out from underneath the influence of the High Pressure system, we have what we call the ring of fire because that is where finally we can get a little bit of whats going on and we do have the thunderstorms that will develop. And the backup into the mountains and on up into pennsylvania. Right around our area, we couldnt rule out a stray thunderstorm but our chances are pretty slim.

Joining us this morning to talk more about why this years shower will be so spectacular, is nasas solar system ambassador, tony rice. Thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. Why will we see twice as many meteors. Any meteor shower is coming from the little bits of dust and particle that come from behind a comet. This is the comet swift tuttle system about every 133 years. Researchs are have been studying stand have picked out a couple of different streams that have been left behind and they are merging together. The influence of gravity from planets like jupiter are enough to pull and tug on them in just the right place so well be passing through a thick part of the stream. Why do we see it this time every year . It is like as we are going that same exit number in the same place every time. That is the place that the comet is passing through. Can we expect to see this for hundreds of years or something more short term in. This will be going for hundreds of years. The streams were looking at go back to just after the year 1,000. Ive tried to see the leonid meteor shower out at falls lake before. Even there, it was really tough becae place. Of the city lights. That really helps. Well be meeting at jordan lake at Ebenezer Church Recreation Area and that is remarkably dark. You are looking out over the south where there is not a whole lot of city lights there.

Weve been begging for that song. I think a couple week ago when it was so hot, how about summertime and the living is easy. So finally. Lets check out was going on out there. Yes, it is hot, hot, hot. Even this morning, man, you just open the door and you are alike really . It is really almost over. Here we are in the middle of august and certainly by the time we get to the middle of september which is only four week away, we will not be dealing wi conditions. It is very rare that we take it all the way into the end of september with consistent highs in the 90s. So we should start to see a little bit of improvement with the way it feels outside. We had a little sun earlier. Starting to see just enough cloud cover to make things look a little more gloomy there at the moment. We check out our temperatures. 75degrees. Our winds are calm. Our dew point is at 72 right 75. 71 in henderson. We head southward, 72 in smithfield. 73 down in laurinburg. It is muggy enough, you being all we need is some sunshine and we heat things up and the thunderstorms will pop up and well get relief from the heat. This is sort of an interesting weather pattern going on right here. It is something that happens fairly regularly in the summer. It is the bermuda high which hangs out in the atlantic and every once had a while sort of grudges back in across the southeast. This is the exnt here. This is the outer edge of the influence of the High Pressure system. On the ground, it is very muggy. In the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere, the High Pressure system is provoiding sinking air. That will put a lid or a cap on any thunderstorms developing for today. Right around the sort of outer fringes of the High Pressure system is what we call the ring of fire. This is where well have the thunderstorms today. That will be all across south carolina, the mountains of North Carolina. We get from raleigh eastward and we just wont have much of the sinking air just above us. Here is futurecast. We start off there at 1 00 and look at the heat index. It will feel like 100 to 103 in some place this is afternoon. That does not put us into heat advisory criteria but it is going to be hot. Just keep that in mind. Our chance of rain today, slim. Only about a 10 chance. The best chance will be east of the triangle area. We were talking about the meteor shower overnight tonight. Should be good since we dont have a lot of chan we should have mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. Can you still probably catch some over the weekend but it may not be as frequent as what well see overnight tonight and early tomorrow morning. On saturday, the heat index climbs up to 105 for a while. It is certainly a possibility that the Weather Service will put us under a heat advisory for the weekend. So yes, it will be dry. We wont have a lot of thunderstorms but you have to heat. 89 is our normal high temperature. We wont be too far from the record. We still have this accident getting cleared up from 85 southbound right around duke street interchange. It is 7 51 right now and you can see the through traffic on 85 southbound down to just a couple of lanes there as they get this accident cleared up. You can see that activity there right around the immediate yap wall there in the distance. The ramp from duke and gregson streets ton 85 southbound is all clear and if you can get to good shape as you merge into the traffic. If you cannot do that, consider using an alternate route, maybe club boulevard you out to the guess road and you can pick up 85 southbound on the other side of all those backups. We do have a number of crashes around the rest of the triangle. A lot of them have cleared up and they are pretty minor. There is one accident on the northeast side of raleigh causing pretty big delays at louisburg road and Mitchell Mill road. The southbound side inbound it is very slow as they get the crash cleared up. A little bit of a northbound delay and Mitchell Mill a little congested. Coming in from wake forest, 11 minutes to 540 on capital boulevard and that ride around the accident site on 401 inbound or southbound from rolesville to 540 now up to 20 minutes. So again, give yourself some extra time there. Once you are on 540 westbound, look okay from cap to to i40 taking just 20 minutes.
