Partly cloudy this evening with an isolated shower or storm.
A few scattered showers and storms are possible to end the work week, otherwise expect partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will warm to the low and mid 80s.
Partly cloudy skies and low rain chances for the weekend as high pressure builds in. Good news for folks heading to the Oceana Air Show. Highs in the low 80s.
We continue to keep a close eye on Tropical Storm Jose. The track has moved slightly to the east, which means OBX is now out of the cone of uncertainty. Now this could shift back. The exact path will determine how much of an impact we see, but it looks like the core of the storm will stay over the Atlantic. As of now, we will see rough surf and a high risk for rip currents this weekend and early next week.
Tonight: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 60s. Winds: SW 5-10 mph.
Tomorrow: AM patchy fog. Partly cloudy, with scattered showers and storms (30%). Highs in the mid 80s. Winds: SE 5-10 mph.
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 60s: Winds: SE around 5 mph.
