A warm and unsettled week ahead
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Scattered showers and thunderstorms moved through central North Carolina on Tuesday. Some areas reported hail as the storm passed through late afternoon.
Since the front is forecast to stall over the state, showers and thunderstorms are expected again on Wednesday. There will be a few showers around early in the day, but daytime heating will allow for rumbles of thunder by the afternoon. Coverage of showers and storms from north to south in the viewing area will depend on how far south the front will stall, as anything north of the boundary will stay dry.

Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid/upper 70s. The front is not expected to move far, which will allow for another risk of thunderstorms across the viewing area. The risk for showers and storms will linger as the front remains nearby Thursday and Friday.
While temperatures will remain above normal through the week, the daily rain chances and considerable cloud cover will help keep highs slightly tempered and support mild/warm overnight lows.
A weekend cold front will enhance rain & storm potential Saturday. Based on the latest timing, Sunday may turn out to be drier. Highs will be in the low 80s Saturday and in the mid 70s Sunday behind the front. Sunday will also be less humid.
Have a great day!
