The Weather Headlines across the great state of North Carolina for everyone, don't be caught unaware!

Today is a more active, cooler day with scattered showers, some storms, and widespread clouds. We will begin to see a change in the weather starting Tuesday.

-Tuesday, the cold front breaks down, we will start to see a ridge of high pressure build back, and some sunshine returns to most of the state. Highs will be in the 80s to near 90° for most areas. Storm/rain chances are much lower, but a couple of isolated to scattered showers and storms can't be ruled out, especially south, and some areas to the east seem more favored.

Wednesday-Friday: Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected, the ridge of high pressure really takes over, and the heat is back in full force. Highs in the 90s to near 100° each day for most areas. The high will be well in control of our weather, with sinking air and very limited storm chances on Wednesday and Thursday. Most are dry and hot.

Friday is still hot, with a slightly better chance of some pop-up storms.

The North Carolina Weekend: It looks hot and sunny with highs in the 90s to near 100°. A few hit or miss scattered PM storms look to be around on Saturday and Sunday afternoon/evening across the state, no washouts by any means, typical summertime stuff. We will get more details as we move towards the weekend.

As always, I'll keep you updated all week long!

May like weather coming late this week, and pollen levels start increasing

May-like weather is coming this week, the 70s and even some 80s are next up. A long-lasting warm-up with late April/May-like temperatures expected starting Wednesday through early next week at least, temperatures will be in the upper 60s and 70s for most areas, with some areas into the low 80s at times. Along the coast (thanks to cooler water temps) and in the mountains, it will be more so in the 60s, but everyone else should see an extended period of sunshine and well-above-average temperatures in the 70s and 80s.

Pollen: The great pollening has begun across most of Central and Eastern NC. Pollen levels are already elevated and will move into high levels later this week and into the weekend. As the growing season is well underway across NC, welcome to spring! So if you're sneezing and have congestion, this is probably why. Don't forget your allergy medicines.
