Pop-Up Storms Every Day

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Spotty thunderstorms will be around the viewing area this evening as we stay relatively warm at night for this time of year. We see the pattern of the afternoon and evening thunderstorms continue through the end of the work week as southwest flow continues to makeus feel plenty humid. It also keeps those low temperatures around +8-10 from historical average.

Tomorrow brings us an end to the high temperatures that start with a"9", at least for a time. The upper-level feature currently bringing heavy rounds of rain to central and southern Texas is shifting eastward and will run into the Appalachians this weekend, broadening out as it traverses the mountains. This feature will promote wetter weather this weekend as
temperatures drop a little and wind picks up slightly on Saturday out ahead of the main axis moving over our area through Sunday and Monday.

Sunday is the peak of precipitation resulting in a disappointingly wet Father's Day for those with outdoor plans. The weekend in general will feel more sticky due to the slug of moisture being brought up from Texas.

Toward the start of next week we see some more ridging build in and that bumps our temperatures back up by midweek. Unfortunately, there will be no break from humidity with that pattern. Models have started to throw some troughiness scattered about toward the middle of next week, likely meaning that we will see a few days that have firmer chances for some rain and thunderstorms. The pattern of afternoon and evening thunderstorms will dominate until one of those shortwave features ends up coming through.

Have a great evening!
