Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
A few showers & storms… A stationary front continues to linger over North Carolina, keeping scattered showers and storms over the Mid-Atlantic. Today will not be a wash out but scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible, mainly this afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms could produce heavy rain and lightning but severe storms are not expected. Most areas will see partly cloudy skies with highs returning to the mid 80s, with a few hot spots in the upper 80s.

The heat and humidity returns for the end of the week. Highs will climb to the low and mid 90s with dew points in the mid 70s. Heat index values will top out between 100 and 105 on Thursday and Friday afternoons.
