Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
The cold front that spawned violent weather across much of Virginia and North Carolina, on Monday, just brought us some slightly cooler and less humid weather on Tuesday.
And it looks like it will be even more comfortable on Wednesday as humidity levels continue to drop.
Enjoy it while it lasts because the humidity and thunderstorms will be making a big comeback on Thursday.
As an area of low pressure rolls up the coast, we expect stormy weather to move in by Thursday afternoon. A few of the storms could be strong/severe.
It should be a pretty quick hit of rain before drier weather moves in to end the work week on Friday.
We have a steamy August weekend on the way. Expect high temperatures in the lower 90s with heat index values climbing into the upper 90s and close to 100°.
Our best bet for dry weather will be on Saturday with just a 25% chance for showers and thunderstorms.
Our rain chances go up on Sunday along with our temperatures. We are looking at a 40% chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms and we can expect more of the same as we head back to work on Monday. Stay tuned.
