The week ahead turning hot again.

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!

Weather Headlines week of March 30th: Spring Weather ahead!

Weather Headlines this week, spring is in full force! We will continue our warming trend this week; highs will be in the 70s and 80s for most of the state through Sunday, with cooler temperatures along the beaches and in the mountains.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry, with partly to mostly sunny skies, and increased fire danger will remain.

Thursday onward: Humidity will increase, and thanks to warm temperatures each afternoon, a couple of hit-or-miss scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible, mainly in the afternoon and evening. It won't be a soaking rain, and it's a very typical summertime pattern where some see a storm and others see nothing each day. So it won't help much with the drought, but the overall increase in moisture outside could help reduce some of the fire danger.

Sunday, a cold front approaches and could bring some showers and thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening. We will watch if any strong to severe storm chances, but right now it seems low will see if it trends that way later this week. This cold front does not seem to have much moisture to work with, but even a little rain at this point would be helpful.

Wildfire risk will remain until further notice. Feel free to pass along any photos or reports you have from any of the fires. I'll continue to update on as many as possible over the coming days!
