Increasing Clouds, Late Shower

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Good morning! The trend of highs in the 80s continues today as high pressure remains settled off the Southeast U.S. coast. Clouds will increase through the day. A disturbance approaching from the west may spark off a few showers and thunderstorms later this evening, into tonight and early Wednesday AM

A second surge of moisture may bring another brief round of thunderstorms for Wednesday afternoon, primarily to areas east of the Triangle. While thunderstorm coverage will be somewhat spotty, any rain will be welcome.

By Thursday high pressure builds back over the region. With more sun, highs will climb into the mid and upper 80s. Friday will feature similar conditions.

Saturday looks to be the more promising day for scattered showers and thunderstorms to reach the region as a front gets stalled up in the mid-Atlantic. Expect more of the same Sunday and Monday as the front lingers. Highs will be in the upper 70s and low 80s.

As of today, April 2024 will go down as the 10th driest on record.

The streak of 80+ high temps will continue into the start of next week.

Have a good day!
