Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Lower humidity to start the work week. Rain chances and humidity increase to end the week.
Back to school today and the weather looks good. Temperatures will start in the upper 60s to low 70s this morning with lower humidity. Highs will reach the upper 80s this afternoon, just a few degrees above normal for this time of year. We will see a nice mix of mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Most of the region will be dry but there is a risk for strong to severe storms in North Carolina, mainly south of the Albemarle Sound.
Another nice day tomorrow with highs in the mid 80s and lower humidity. Expect more sunshine with an even lower rain chance.
Highs will linger in the mid to upper 80s all week. The humidity will increase for the end of the week, pushing the heat index into the 90s. Rain chances will also increase later this week as a cold front moves in Thursday/Friday.

Tropical Update
Watching an area of low pressure located a few hundred miles southeast of Bermuda. Further development of the low is possible, and this system could become a short-lived tropical depression or storm during the next couple of days while it moves NNE, well northeast of Bermuda.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (50%)
* Formation chance through 7 days: Medium (50%)
A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa later today, and an area of low pressure could form in association with the wave early this week. Environmental conditions are forecast to be marginally conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form by the middle to latter portions of the week while the system moves generally west across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (10%)
* Formation chance through 7 days: Medium (50%)
