Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Tracking rain and possible storms… We will start today with a mix of clouds and temperatures in the 60s. Highs will climb into the upper 70s with rain chances increasing this afternoon and evening as a cold front moves in. Rain could be heavy at times with a few thunderstorms possible. It will be windy today with SW winds at 10-20 mph.
Showers will linger for Saturday as the front slides off of the coastline. Rain chances will taper off and skies will clear for Sunday. Highs will return to the upper 60s and low this weekend, near normal for this time of year.
An Air Quality Alert is in effect until 7 AM Saturday for Currituck and Dare counties due to the wildfire along the Dare/Hyde border and SW winds.
