RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert: Near-record highs in the low to mid 90s will continue through Wednesday. Wet changes are coming later this week, and the heat will ease.

Strong high pressure will result in near-record highs through Wednesday, with highs in the low to mid 90s under sunny skies. Lows will be in the 60s and 70s.

The next chance for rain arrives Thursday morning, with the unsettled weather continuing into the rest of the week. The main idea for Thursday will be showers with a few embedded thunderstorms and a few heavy downpours.

The aforementioned frontal boundary will stall to the south, which will drive the continued wet weather on Friday.
