Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Fog, drizzle and more rain… Watch out for areas of dense fog and widespread drizzle this morning. The leftovers of Bonnie continue to slowly move along the North Carolina coastline today. Expect clouds with some sunshine breaking through. Showers will be scattered but an isolated heavy downpour or storm is possible. Most of the rain and the highest rainfall totals will be in NC, mainly on the Outer Banks. Highs today will return to the upper 70s.
The remnants of Bonnie will move off of the East Coast on Friday as a cold front moves in from the west. We will see a mix of clouds with scattered showers and storms. Highs on Friday will warm slightly into the low 80s.
As the cold front moves in it will stall over the Mid-Atlantic for the weekend. That means more clouds and rain chances for both Saturday and Sunday. Expect scattered showers and storms both days. Highs will warm slightly into the low and mid 80s. We should have a chance to dry out, with more sunshine, next week.
Today: AM Fog & Drizzle, Partly Sunny, Scattered Showers/Storms(30%). Highs in the upper 70s. Winds: NE/E 5-15
Tonight: Partly Cloudy, Isolated Showers/Storms(20%). Lows in the upper 60s. Winds: E/SE 5-10
Tomorrow: Mostly Cloudy, Scattered Showers/Storms(40%). Highs in the low 80s. Winds: SE 5-10

Tropical Update
Bonnie has re-developed to a Tropical Depression. The center is located about 25 miles ESE of Cape Hatteras, NC. It is still moving very slowly, now NE at 7 mph. Maximum winds have increased to near 30 mph. Some slight strengthening is possible during the next 24 hours. After that time, Bonnie is expected to again become a post-tropical low. Bonnie will linger off of the Hatteras coast today, before moving off into the Atlantic on Friday. The main threat from this system will continue to be moderate to heavy rain over Eastern North Carolina. Localized flooding is possible along the Outer Banks. We will also see an increased risk for rip currents, rough surf and localized coastal flooding.
