Rain Returns by Friday

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert Day-Saturday: A storm system will bring rounds of rain and storms Friday night through Saturday. There is a Level 1 risk of severe storms-damaging winds and hail are the main threat. Locally heavy rain may lead to some flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Weekend totals will be around 1-2" for most, with isolate higher totals.

Good morning! A few damaging wind and hail reports came out of the storms that passed through late yesterday afternoon and evening, mainly across southern portions of the area.

Light showers are passing for some this morning as an area of low pressure spins off the NJ coast. Showers will wrap up by 8am. Fog impacts will lessen by midmorning, and clouds will break, so expect mostly sunny skies today. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s.

We'll have to watch for a spotty shower or storm this evening as a weak disturbance from the north passes through the region. Mainly clear skies should remain through tonight before we see a return of more clouds tomorrow ahead of our next weather maker. Spotty showers and thunderstorms will arrive

Friday afternoon and night, continuing through Saturday. By Sunday, there can be a few lingering showers and thunderstorms as the low begins to travel off the coast, especially during the afternoon. Locally heavy rain and isolated severe storms will be possible.

We can't fully rule out a shower on Monday as the low exits the region-most likely during the morning. Despite this, we should start to see more sunshine by the afternoon hours, and this sunshine still looks to continue into early next week.

The next chance of rain still looks to be Wednesday night or Thursday.

Have a great day!
