Good morning. I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. Boy, it was a wet day yesterday, especially for our western counties. A lot of folks east of the Triangle really didn't see much rain yesterday. A cold front will continue to slide eastward and help to push more of that rain eastward across North Carolina. So our eastern counties that didn't see any rain yesterday have a much better chance of seeing it today. This morning, the bulk of the rain has been from the Triangle area northward or westward. But watch what happens as we get closer to lunchtime, we start to see more of that rain filling in in our eastern counties along the I 95 Corridor and that continues through the afternoon. There's 3 p.m. there's 5 p.m. And then after that, once we get past sunset, we begin to see the rain tapering off with a bit of a drier period overnight. First thing tomorrow morning, just a few isolated showers should be a fairly dry morning commute. But then once we get into the middle of the afternoon, we start to see more rain development and more thunderstorms too. So we're looking pretty wet during the late afternoon through the evening, commute all the way up until around midnight or so. And then the precipitation changes just keep on coming. 70% today. 40% Monday, 30 Tuesday, 20 Wednesday, 40 Thursday, we have rain in the forecast. At least some rain in the forecast doesn't mean everybody is going to see rain but some rain in the forecast all the way through next Saturday. Take a look at and you can see it is wet out there. Temperatures this morning have been in the upper sixties and then climbing into the seventies. Getting closer to lunchtime, checking out our uh high temperature for this afternoon, 77 and the trang 77 is actually normal for this time of year. It's just we were so warm last week, 75 Durham, 80 degrees in Fayetteville for the highs today, we are looking, of course, we've had a cooler weekend, our normal high 77 we're seeing 77 and then we really warm up again by the middle of next week, looking at a high of 92 on Wednesday and 91 on Thursday. Of course, that's way above normal. Again, we continue to see our wet pattern at least on and off with a chance of showers and thunderstorms through Saturday. But a little sneak peek at Mother's Day looks gorgeous. We should see highs in the mid seventies with some sunshine and drier conditions.
