If you thought today’s weather felt a little like fall, you are absolutely right.

Most of us had high temperatures that are more typical for early November than late May.

But my advice is to enjoy it, while it lasts, because the forecast for summer is hot.

Hotter than normal, as a matter of fact. But the cool weather will linger through the rest of the week.

Wednesday will be a few degrees warmer, with highs, mainly in the lower 70s. There will be plenty of clouds around, but the winds will be lighter than Tuesday. Thursday we will fall back into the 60s and stay there through Saturday.

The gusty winds also pick back up on Thursday and stay with us through the long holiday weekend as a coastal storm develops and moves north. Friday is looking mainly dry with a few showers possible across eastern North Carolina.

Saturday is looking mainly wet, with scattered showers across Hampton Roads and coastal North Carolina.

Wet weather is still looking likely on Sunday and possibly into Monday.

But the weekend forecast is highly dependent on the strength and path of our developing coastal storm.

Stay tuned.
