Saturday is looking really nice, with dry conditions and temperatures in the 80s. Sunday will be partly cloudy with highs in the 80s as well.
TROPICS:
Our first system in the tropics has developed! Potential Tropical Cyclone One is expected to become Tropical Storm Arthur off the coast of Texas on Wednesday. Arthur's moisture may bring about some enhanced rainfall amounts on the Outer Banks for Friday's storms.
