Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Bonnie moves out, storms move in… Watch out for areas of dense fog and widespread drizzle again this morning. Tropical Depression Bonnie is moving away from North Carolina but a cold front is moving in. Expect clouds with some sunshine breaking through for the midday and early afternoon hours. Scattered showers and storms will fire up later this afternoon and evening. Highs today will reach the low to mid 80s.
The cold front will stall over the Mid-Atlantic for the weekend. That means more clouds and rain chances for both Saturday and Sunday. Expect mostly cloudy skies, with some sunshine mixing in. We will see scattered showers and storms both days with severe storms possible on Sunday as a second cold front builds in. Highs will warm into the mid and upper 80s this weekend.
Rain will move out early Monday morning with clearing skies and highs in the mid 80s. Expect plenty of sunshine and low rain chances for most of next week.
