Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible this weekend. Otherwise, the weather will be comfortable with temperatures in the high 80s and low 90s.

"If you’re headed to the beaches, the weather looks nice," said WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. "If you’re headed to the mountains, there are going to be a few afternoon thunderstorms."

In the Triangle, Friday will be mostly cloudy with some late-day showers possible and a high of 86 degrees.

Saturday will be partly-cloudy and warmer with a small chance of afternoon and evening storms and a high of 91.

The temperature will creep up to 93 degrees Sunday with mostly-sunny skies and a chance of an afternoon storm.

"We'll end up with more sunshine over the weekend," Gardner said.

Summer heat returns early next week, as high temperatures will climb back into the mid-and upper 90s by Tuesday and Wednesday.

I guess its where you're at but I swept flooding water under my garage for a hour and if you look at radar harnett is getting ready to be slammed,might get to mow someday maybe midnight tonight...

The rain has been a joke in my back yard this week as well.

WE need the rain-plain and simple. I've gotten less than 1/2" all week.

Where is that pesky cold front today?

"Weather will be comfortable.." does that mean low humidity?
