Less hot, less humid through midweek

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- It will be a hot and humid evening ahead, but cooler temperatures arrive on Tuesday with lower humidity.

It will finally feel more like mid-September tomorrow and Wednesday, with lows in the 50s and 60s and highs in the low to mid 80s.

Afternoon temperatures increase a bit to the upper 80s on Thursday with plenty of sunshine, but it will remain relatively comfortable with lower humidity.

Dew points rise on Friday ahead of another front. There is better model agreement now on the front staying north of the Triangle through the weekend, but guidance suggests spotty showers and storms will be possible with a weak disturbance.

Models suggest the next front approaches Saturday, so a spotty storm has been added to the forecast. Friday through Sunday will be a hot stretch with highs in the low to mid 90s.

Tropics: For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
1. Central Subtropical Atlantic:
A trough of low pressure located more than 1000 miles east-southeast
of Bermuda continues to produce disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Environmental conditions over the system are
currently unfavorable for development due to strong upper-level
winds. However, as the system moves west-northwestward across the
central part of the Subtropical Atlantic, it is forecast to enter a
more conducive environment for gradual development by the middle to
latter portion of this week.
