Pleasant stretch as temperatures climb

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Good Wednesday morning! The high pressure that brought the nice weather over the past couple of days is poised to move offshore today, which will allow southerly flow to return. High temperatures will peak in the mid- to upper 80s today, but it will still be at least somewhat comfortable with dew points in the low to mid-60s.

Dew points continue to rise tonight and reach the upper 60s and even the low 70s tomorrow ahead of an approaching cold front.

Isolated storms will be possible Thursday afternoon mainly south of the Triangle. Spotty storms will develop Friday afternoon as the front approaches. Chances will increase Friday evening. Highs Thursday and Friday will be in the low to mid 90s with feels-like temps of 95 to 102. Lows will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Scattered showers and storms are likely Saturday with the front. The threat for gusty winds remains, but widespread severe weather is not expected.

Rain and storms may linger Sunday with the weakening front. Weekend highs will be in the upper 80s.

Activity clears out as we head into early next week. Models vary on whether there is lingering activity on Monday. The best chance for any activity on Monday will be south and especially east of the Triangle.

Highs climb back to around 90 starting Monday and through the week, with heat indices projected at or around 100.

Tropics: No tropical development is expected in the Atlantic basin within the next 7 days.

Have a great day!
