WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze said a system that moved from the north and west triggered heavy downpours for parts of the region. But those had pushed to the south and were expected to move into Hoke and Cumberland counties through the late night hours.

The wet weather Sunday evening prompted a delay in action at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park Sunday evening.

The high temperature was expected to top out Sunday in the mid-80s before dropping to a low temperatures in the 70s.

After the line of wet weather moves out of the area, Maze said the drier air will settle into the region and bring minimal chances for rain through the latter part of the week.

"We'll have less humid days but it will still be hot," he said.

It will be cloudy Monday but largely dry, Maze said.

The high Monday should top out in the upper 80s, with hot, dry weather expected for the remainder of the work week.
