NORFOLK, Va. — Our extreme July heat and humidity won’t be going away quietly. But it will be going away.
Another round of strong-to-severe storms is possible on Thursday afternoon for some of us, especially across eastern North Carolina.
A cold front could spark another round of storms late Thursday evening or very early on Friday.
But we expect that the storms won’t be a strong as on Wednesday and fewer of us will see the severe weather.
Friday will still be on the warm side, but it is our transition day as the cold front crosses the region.
That cold front will usher in relief for the weekend. We are expecting partly cloudy skies with high temperatures only in the mid-80s on Saturday and on Sunday.
We are expecting generally dry weather, both days, with just a 20% chance for a stray shower or thunderstorm.
Enjoy the mild and dry weather while it lasts because temperatures will steadily rise as we head into the work week and so will our chances for storms.
And the longer-range forecast from the climate prediction center is for warmer-than-normal conditions for the rest of July. Stay tuned.
