We've seen a few showers so far today, but while you're sleeping the rain should get heavier.  Most of us will pickup another .25" to .5" of additional rain.  As I write this blog, Charlotte Douglas International Airport has only record a tenth of an inch.

We're only down .25" for this month (pretty good) but down about two and a half inches since January 1st (not so much). Valentine's Day will be full of sunshine with temps in the mid 50s.  Friday we'll see more sun and highs should make it into the low 60s, while Saturday night and Sunday will bring more chances for needed rain.

Now...the SHOCKING CONFESSION...dunt dunt duuuuh

I feel that Paula Abdul is one of the most annoying people on the planet, she is behind Britney, Lyndsay, Rosie, Fergie, Drew Carey (stop laughing at yourself MAN!) and Carson Daly (least talented person in the world). 

I caught Paula Abdul's attempted comeback during the Super Bowl XLII (42) Pre Game Show on FOX.  The song is called "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" and I LOVE IT!!  I know, scary that a guy who listens primarily to U2, Duran Duran, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, and The Police would like a bubble-gum pop song from Paula Abdul of all people.  I've been close to downloading the song off of I-Tunes, but so far I've kind of kept my credibility by not buying it.

 If you haven't heard the song yet, check this out.  And please don't judge me...I swear I'll redeem myself by buying some cool new wave stuff off I-Tunes this week.

More to come...

I've been a part of the FOX Charlotte team since January 0f 2005...I started on FOX News EDGE with Matt & Ramona and I also provided weather on FOX News Rising before moving back to nightside and a nicer sleep schedule. These days I'm the Weekend Meteorologist here at FOX Charlotte, you can catch my forecasts on FOX News @ Ten on Friday & Saturday nights. Tuesday - Thursday I'm usually working on news stories or assisting Reg in the weather center. I also fill in whenever Reg or Tera are off. I do a lot of work on the overall look & feel of the graphics you see during the FOX Charlotte Weather segments. When I'm not working I'm usually at home on the couch with my wife Kristen, our son Tyler and our chocolate lab Dawson. I'm originally from Wisconsin (Go PACK Go!), but have called Charlotte home for nearly ten years. I miss SOME of the "real snow," but usually get back to see it once or twice a year.
