Rainy, stormy week to follow mild Sunday
With highs in the low 80s, overcast skies and plenty of drizzle, the weather on Sunday will be much different -- and much cooler -- than Saturday.
Posted — UpdatedAccording to WRAL meteorologist Mike Moss, the week ahead will be a stormy one. The thunderstorms and rain arriving in the Triangle overnight may continue days into the work week.
The stormy weather will be of contrast to the first part of the weekend, which saw record-setting temperatures on Saturday and plenty of sunshine both days.
"After a high of 90 degrees at RDU (on Saturday), we should stay cooler today thanks to a front that slipped south of us overnight," said WRAL meteorologist Mike Moss. "At noon, the temperature at RDU was 18 degrees cooler than the same time yesterday."
Sunday and the work week will continue to be cooler than Saturday, with highs in the low 80s. According to Moss, the chance for heavier rain and storms increases Sunday night.
"Some patches of mist or drizzle can't be ruled out morning to midday, with about a 20 to 30 percent chance of showers later in the afternoon," said Moss.
Fortunately, according to Moss, any rain that does fall shouldn't ruin outdoor plans.
"Any daytime showers should fairly few and far between," said Moss. "We'll develop a better chance of showers and storms later tonight."
