Warm and bright start to the work week

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert Forecast: Sunny and warmer conditions are expected to start the week. Our next chance of rain and storms comes on Thursday.

Get ready for a warm up! Monday will feature a mostly sunny sky and highs in the mid to upper 70s. Tuesday will be dry and sunny with highs in the low 80s.

Wednesday should be mostly cloudy and a shower is possible late in the day. Thunderstorms are expected overnight, and into Thursday, as the next front approaches. Strong storms are a possibility at this time.
Long range guidance a little bullish on rainfall totals...hoping this holds as we need a good soaking.

There's some uncertainty as to whether a second area of low pressure develops into Friday. If this scenario plays out, additional showers will be possible on Friday.

Mother's Day weekend will feature a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Have a great week!
