A Level 1 Risk for severe storms Tuesday and Wednesday

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Some impressive rainfall around the Triangle yesterday.

RDU picked up 1.54 inches, which actually puts us in a rare monthly surplus - something we haven't seen since February's 0.23-inch bump.

We've got several chances to add to that surplus, starting Tuesday afternoon and evening as scattered storms pop back up.

We're under another Level 1 Risk today, mainly for isolated strong storms. The biggest issue will be damaging winds, but spots that get storms can expect frequent lightning and brief heavy rain.

Wednesday looks a lot like today, and the Storm Prediction Center has us in another Level 1 Risk for late-day storms.

We heat up Thursday and Friday with highs in the upper 90s, and models are leaning toward higher rain chances as we head into the weekend.

Have a great day!
