I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner in the weather center tracking a system that's down along the Gulf coast. Right now. There is a severe thunderstorm watch as you can see in the orange shaded area, a lot of thunderstorms. So we've had severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings early this morning. With this, you see the big h sitting over North Carolina, it's slipping out to sea. That's the high pressure system that brought us some beautiful weather over the weekend and it's hanging on for today. We'll gradually start to see the clouds though, filling in and potentially a few isolated showers this evening, definitely seeing some rain overnight. And early tomorrow morning, there's 6 a.m. with some scattered rain and potentially some thunderstorms by nine or 10 o'clock in the morning. And you could see that continues through lunch time and into maybe the middle uh part of the afternoon and then overnight more showers and a chance of thunderstorms again on Wednesday. So we move into that wetter pattern and we'll see it at least two days in a row for Tuesday and Wednesday. This is Tuesday's severe weather threat to parts of Moore County, all of hope County, parts of Cumberland and Sampson County, uh, damaging wind would be the biggest threat that we would see out of those storms. And same thing again on Wednesday, just a slightly different area of coverage along the I 95 corridor with wind damage being the biggest threat Wednesday. Nice out there. So far today, we are seeing some hyen cloud cover beginning to build in and it'll be mostly cloudy by this afternoon, mid afternoon, looking at temperatures climbing into the low eighties and by lunchtime, 75. So it should be a nice lunch hour to spend outside if you have that opportunity. 81 in Raleigh, 80 in Durham, 83 in Fayetteville with increasing clouds. And this evening, we may see a few scattered showers. It was a cool weekend. Temperatures were below normal. In most places, you can see that blue shaded area that's below normal and it starts to creep up by the end of the week, we're not looking at any intense, you know, we've seen a number of days in the nineties already. This season, we're not likely to see that this week are muggy meters climbing though. It feels good. It felt great over the weekend still feels good this morning, but it's bouncing back up to steamy to tropical all the way through the weekend as we move into a wetter pattern.
