THE ATMOSPHERE IS FULL OF MOISTURE TODAY AND IT WAS HUMID AND YOU COULD FEEL IT OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS ARE ABLE TO TAP INTO THAT. THEY ARE MOVING SLOW SO BE AWARE OF THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND THE TALL TOWER CAMERA HERE IN WAKE COUNTY OVERLOOKING SOME OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING AND GARNER AND EVEN INTO JOHNSON COUNTY. CLAYTON STILL SEEING RAIN AND WE HAVE THE SCENE BACK BUILDING, EVEN THOUGH YOU GOT A LITTLE BREAK WE ARE SEEING HER HEAVY RAIN MOVING IN WITH A LOT OF LIGHTNING AND THUNDERSTORMS AND THE LATEST INFORMATION WE JUST GOT IN WITH AN AERIAL FLOOD ADVISORY, RIVER FLOODING AND STREAM FLOODING AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE COULD FLOOD. THAT IS UNTIL 9 PM. MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUT DRIVING IN THIS THAT YOU TAKE IT SLOW AND IF YOU RUN INTO ANY WATER ON THE ROADS PLEASE TURN AROUND AND DO NOT DROWN. THE STORMS ARE SLOWLY MOVING TO THE SOUTH THAT WE ARE SEEING DEVELOPMENTS EVEN TO THE WEST AND A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE MARINA, WE COULD SEE SOME OF THOSE STORMS EDGE THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE CITY AND THIS IS THE FOCUS FOR STORMS, EASTERN WAKE COUNTY, JOHNSON COUNTY AS WELL AS NASH COUNTY BUT THAT IS NOT ALL. THE STORMS EARLIER THAT MOVED THROUGH CUMBERLAND COUNTY AND SAMPSON COUNTY AND WAYNE COUNTY CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE EAST. THOSE STORMS SHOULD DIE DOWN QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET.

I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the severe weather center. It's feeling like summer again. On Thursday, high temperatures reach the upper eighties and we could come awfully close to 90 in Fayetteville. It's possible. Fayetteville sees the 1st 90 degree day of the year. The average first day in the nineties in Fayetteville is, is May 3rd and May twelveth here in the triangle. 87 in the triangle and 85 in rocks, a lot more sunshine in the forecast tomorrow. Those clouds that we saw, they're going to be clearing out overnight. So get some fresh air, enjoy it while you can. We're not going to see these warm days every day for our seven day. We'll wake up to temperatures in the low sixties warming up to 80 degrees by noon and upper eighties for highs during the afternoon. We've got the sunshine tomorrow, but a lot of us could really use the rain, especially anybody who's starting with their gardening, our rainfall for the month of April 66 inches. So that's more than an inch below normal. I would recommend to keep watering your gardens. We do have some opportunities for rain, but none of these rounds look like a widespread soaking rain. I would go ahead and keep watering. We've got a 40% chance of storms on the way. Friday and Friday, we need to keep an eye on the potential for a severe storm. Tonight. We're seeing showers dissipate as they move closer to us. And that trend should continue. We dry out throughout the day tomorrow with the sunshine and then here comes Friday's front in the morning, we'll see some rain in the mountains kind of falling apart. But as this front gets closer to us during the afternoon, as we're heating up, we'll have a more energized atmosphere and this should create some lift to generate some scattered storms throughout the afternoon and evening. It's about a 40% chance that you would see one at your house. The issue is pretty much anywhere in our viewing area. There could be a severe storm. That's why there's level one out of five threat for severe storms, Friday. The threats, damaging wind gusts and hail your seven day forecast shows some big changes are on the way for the weekend. We are cooling down, especially on Sunday, just 68 for the high falling into the 40 Sunday night into Monday morning, Monday, mostly cloudy, some lingering sprinkles possible. And then next week, temperatures are right back in the mid seventies, which is pretty much on par with where we should be this time of year
