Warm weekend ahead

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Warm and breezy today with plenty of clouds around. The southwesterly flow will increase low level moisture decreasing our brush fire threat, but we still have an open burn ban statewide. Cloudy and still warm tomorrow near 80 degrees, then our focus is Monday afternoon with a threat of strong storms.

SPC has put us in a level 2 of 5 risk for severe storms Monday late afternoon and evening. The main threat will be damaging straight-line winds.

Cooler and drying our Tuesday, which is April 1st by the way, then a large ridge of high pressure builds in warming us to June like highs later next week!

Have a great day!
