Hot & humid end to the week, weekend storms
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Good morning! High pressure over the Atlantic will continue to allow southerly winds to bring above average temps and humid conditions to the region today. After reaching 90 degrees at RDU yesterday, it will be even hotter today with temperatures reaching in the middle 90s. Expect mostly sunny skies and dry conditions through the day.
A stray shower/sprinkle can't be ruled out this evening as a trough begins to push closer.
A cold front will also make its way toward North Carolina Friday. This will spark spotty afternoon and evening thunderstorms across the region. While storms will be spotty, storms will be capable of producing downpours and gusty winds.
Thunderstorms will be more widespread Saturday as the front pushes farther south. Locally heavy rain and downpours may lead to flash flooding. Localized damaging wind gusts will also be a concern within any stronger storms.
An isolated storm chance will linger Sunday.
Dry weather returns Monday and through the middle of next week. Humidity will still be high with highs near 90 and lows near 70. The thunderstorm risk will return late next week.
