Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
After a brief break from the worst of the summer heat and humidity, it was a little warmer and a little more humid on Monday. And that has helped spark a few storms.
But behind those storms, we should enjoy a few more days of relatively mild summer weather.
Expect plenty of sunshine on Tuesday with just a slight chance for thunderstorms, mainly across eastern North Carolina.
We should see high temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s with comfortable humidity values.
Wednesday will be even more pleasant with high temperatures generally in the lower 80s under partly cloudy skies.
But we started warming trend on Thursday with high temperatures in the mid-80s.
And it looks like we will add a degree or two each day through the weekend and into early next week.
By next Monday, we can expect a high temperature near 90°, which is a little above normal.
While the weekend won’t be a washout, we are tracking a chance for scattered storms on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned.
