RALEIGH, N.C. — It was warm and quiet Thursday, but the Triangle’s risk for severe weather has been increased to a level 2 for Friday.

The U.S. Storm Prediction Center put the Triangle under a level 2 risk for severe weather on Friday, which means there’s a chance for isolated severe weather.

"There's a liklihood we're going to see a watch issued here tomorrow afternoon, either a severe thunderstorm watch or a tornado watch," WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze said.

It will not be a repeat of last Friday, when multiple tornadoes touched ground throughout the area.

Scattered showers will move in Friday morning. There’s a better chance for showers and thunderstorms in the late afternoon and early evening.

Temperatures will be in the mid-70s.

The greatest risk for severe weather is expected to be over by about 5 p.m. in the Triangle.

"Evening plans tomorrow, 6 o'clock and beyond, I think you're going to be OK," Maze said.

Saturday will have clear skies, and temperatures will again be in the mid-70s.
