I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmoth in the WRL severe weather center, a summer like day today. A lot of sunshine, warm temperatures highs will climb into the upper eighties for most of you today. We have severe weather west of us today, but that same system is headed our way. It arrives Friday afternoon and has the potential to bring some severe storms here as well. We have a level one risk for severe storms for most of the area, including all of the triangle. The biggest threats would be some damaging winds and maybe a little bit of hail. So this system as it does move into North Carolina, it weakens, but we still have that threat. We'll still have some storm energy in the afternoon and evening and we have that potential for some isolated severe storms the second half of the day tomorrow overnight, tonight, clouds will increase. We'll have a dry morning commute. So you don't have to worry about the rain in the morning when you leave. But then in the afternoon, around three o'clock or so, we'll start to notice the development of some hit and miss showers and storms and that will likely continue through the evening commute. And if you have Friday night plans, you probably want the umbrella just to be on the safe side. At nine o'clock, we'll still have some scattered showers and storms. And then beyond that, I think things will start to settle down and we'll have a little bit of a break from the rain on Saturday. But some hit and miss storms possible the second half of the day tomorrow on Friday and then we'll have a better chance for some rain as we wrap up the weekend, a decent chance for scattered showers the second half of the day on Sunday, this is just going to be rain. We don't expect severe weather. It will be a stable air mass in place. Highs will be in the sixties. So just plain old rain for the second half of the day on Sunday. So for the rest of the day today, it is dry and warm. A high of 87 today, a dry start Friday. But then late in the afternoon and through the evening, we'll have some hit and miss showers and storms and any storms that form could become become severe. Saturday. We have partly to mostly cloudy skies. Only a 20% chance for rain with a high near normal. Around 75 Sunday will probably start dry. And then the second half of the day, we have scattered showers. It's cooler with a high of 6365 with the high on Monday and we'll have lows in the forties Monday morning and Tuesday morning. But temperatures will start to go up again next week. We're back in the mid seventies, Tuesday and upper seventies by Wednesday.
