Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Turning up the heat for the weekend… A cold front pushed through this morning bringing us some very heavy rain and storms but not much of a cool down. Some sunshine will blend in with the clouds for midday and the afternoon. A few leftover showers and storms are possible, mainly for NC and the Southside. Highs today will return to the mid 80s, about 15 degrees above normal. Expect a warm night with overnight lows only falling to near 70 under partly cloudy skies.
The weekend will be very summer-like. Highs will warm to near 90 on Saturday, close to record high temperatures for that date. Expect a nice mix of sun and clouds through the day with an isolated shower or storm possible. It will also be breezy Saturday with SW winds at 10 to 15 and gusts to 25 mph possible. Highs will slip into the mid 80s for Sunday. We will still see the mix of sun and clouds with isolated showers/storms possible.
A better chance for showers and thunderstorms is set to move in Monday night and into Tuesday as a cold front moves through. We will cool down behind that front. Expect highs in the 70s for midweek.
