First Alert Evening Forecast: July 5

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert Forecast: A Heat Advisory is in effect until 8 PM. Additionally, isolated strong to severe storms are possible this evening and again on Monday.

After a round of afternoon storms, drier conditions are expected overnight. Lows will be in the 70s with a partly cloudy sky.

The heat dome has shifted a bit to the east, and that's helping pull more moisture our way. Because of that, we'll have better chances for rain and storms as we head into the week - especially Monday and Tuesday.

We're under another Level 1 Risk for strong storms Monday afternoon and evening, with highs in the upper 90s.

Temperatures don't back off much this week. Highs stay in the mid-90s, and we could flirt with 100 again by Friday.

Have a great evening!
