<p>I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the wr a severe weather center here with your mother. Stay forecast. It looks absolutely beautiful. On Sunday, humidity will be low. Temperatures will be comfortable and we've got a nice dry day with just some passing puffy cumulus clouds. 76 for the high on Mother's Day in Roxboro, 78 in Durham, 79 Raleigh 78 in Rocky Mount and back up in the lower eighties in Southern Pines in Fayetteville. It's partly cloudy with a bit more sunshine in morning. If you're doing a Mother's Day brunch, it should be around the low to mid sixties at that time. By lunchtime, we're warming up 72 partly cloudy and mid seventies for dinner time temperatures. Now, depending on how much rain you saw last week, you may need to pick back up on some watering for your garden. I don't need to at my house with the rain we saw, but we do have a dry forecast for Sunday and Monday as we get into next week, we should see more rain return to the forecast. It looks like a pretty unsettled middle part next week. We even have a chance for some scattered showers lingering through about 2 a.m. in our southern counties. This is not just going to bring the chance of a quick passing shower tonight but also quite a bit of cloud cover into the area. So about 75% of the sky is going to be covered by clouds. 11 p.m. midnight, more clouds than clear sky by 1 a.m. that starts to back off by 2:03 a.m. here in the triangle especially. And this is really relevant because we do have another chance to see the northern lights tonight. I don't think skies will begin to clear until between midnight and 2 a.m. So it would really be after that, that we would have the best shot at seeing the northern lights. Here's the thing though, the maximum of that solar storm is going to have to align perfectly with the time when our skies begin to clear out. There's no guarantee that will happen, but it is possible. It is a similar forecast intensity for the geomagnetic storm to what we saw last night. Be sure to let your eyes adjust. You can't just walk out. I look to the north and expect to instantly see it. You need to be patient, sit outside, let your eyes adjust. Could look something like this. This is what was seen in a Wade by Richard last night. Really cool stuff for your seven day forecast. We've got a nice couple of days ahead and then we've got more storms in the forecast by Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday storm chances up to 70%. There's a chance we could get a break from rain chances Thursday and then storm chances are back in a more scattered fashion for the end of next week.</p>
