Derrah Getter's First Warning Forecast
The rain and gloomy conditions will linger into the work week as Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda move near the east coast.
This evening, mostly cloudy conditions will continue. Spotty showers linger along portions of the Outer Banks. Lows dip in the upper 60s.
Scattered showers return Monday afternoon as a stalled out front hovers near the coast. Highs will be in the mid 70s. That same stalled out front is expected to keep Imelda away from the U.S. coastline. Rain chances get slightly higher Tuesday, but the thunderstorms will mainly be confined to the southern Outer Banks.
Skies start clearing Wednesday. High temperatures will be cooler during the middle of the week, only reaching the upper 60s and low 70s. Mainly dry conditions last through the upcoming weekend.
