Friday night showers could bring flash floods

Overnight should stay steamy with high humidity and off-and-on thunderstorms that will be the norm through the weekend, according to WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel.

WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze said Saturday morning will start out rainy with a high chance of thunderstorms. Temperatures could reach the low 80s.

A steady flow of tropical moisture from the Bahamas will make for soupy days and nights through at least Monday.

Maze advised umbrellas for those who intend to enjoy one of many spring festivals happening across the Triangle this weekend.

Among top picks are Moogfest, in Durham, which includes events both indoors and out around the themes of music and technology. The festival runs Thursday through Sunday at various venues and includes daily Sound Baths, which are a mix of meditation and healing musical performances where people lie on the floor and let the sound wash over them.

Keep an eye on the forecast if you are headed to downtown Saturday or Sunday for Artsplosure or the Got to Be NC Festival.

The hourly forecast shows the chance for rain at a steady 60 to 70 percent through the day Saturday with humidity in the 80 to 90 percent range.

The shower chances dip after dark on Saturday, but the possibility for rain returns Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

High temperatures will be in the mid- to upper 80s and the overnight lows will dip only into the upper 60s.

With a chance of storms all next week, don't expect a dry day in the near forecast.
