We are tracking a cold front that will move in and bring us the chance for showers and storms. Some of these storms could become strong to severe. The biggest threat will be heavy downpours and gusty winds. Temperatures will dip into the low 70s overnight with scattered showers and into Thursday morning.
The front will stall over North Carolina. We will start Thursday with clouds and showers. Clouds will start to clear and rain chances will drop through the day. Cooler air will move in behind the front. High pressure will build in which will dry us out. Expect highs in the low 80s tomorrow.
We will see partly cloudy skies for the end of the work week and the weekend with low rain chances. Highs will remain in the low 80s on Friday. We will warm back into the mid and upper 80s this weekend.
