<p>A meteorologist, Elizabeth Gardner, we do have a level one risk for severe storms this afternoon. The coverage today is likely to be fairly light. We're looking at just a 30% chance of storms but any storms that do develop could produce some wind damage. We take a look at futurecast and things have been pretty quiet during the morning. Notice some sunshine that breaks out during the afternoon. It is going to be a pretty warm and steamy day. Today, we're going to see our temperatures climbing into the upper eighties feeling more like low to mid nineties and then into the afternoon, a few isolated cells develop that starts around three o'clock so you could see one or two of those across our area. Uh, the sky may look, uh, gray at times, certainly with those storms developing, but there'll be, you know, fairly few and far between. It's just that, you know, any of those that do develop could produce some wind damage. We'll continue to have a chance for scattered thunderstorms all the way through Friday before we see drier conditions. This weekend. For tomorrow, we have a level one risk for severe storms, damaging wind and heavy rain would be our biggest threat, but it goes up to level two on Thursday as a stronger front comes in. That'll bring us in addition to some wind damage, the potential for some isolated tornadoes or some hail with that system. Looking around the viewing area today, you'll see a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures will be climbing into the seventies through lunch time and then into the mid to upper eighties this afternoon, it is again going to be a pretty hot steamy day. 87 in Raleigh, 86 Durham and 89 in Fayetteville. Uh, sitting at, uh, tolerable to steamy, uh, this morning looking at, uh, nearly tropical by Thursday, some of the, uh warm or I should say some of the highest dew points that we've seen so far this spring making it feel very sticky and muggy. Now that all changes by Friday, Saturday and Sunday feeling much more like a spring day check in the seven day forecast. Don't forget again, Thursday is a WRL weather alert day for that chance of severe storms, Friday, some lingering storms and then Saturday and Sunday feel great. Now, there might be a thunderstorm in the afternoon on Sunday, but temperatures will be cooler in the seventies and our humidity will be much lower.</p>
