We'll have another day with a chance of isolated showers and storms on Sunday as we continue monitoring a potential system developing off of the coast.

Sporadic showers Sunday ahead of heavy rain, gusty wind potential Monday

I meteorologist Chris Michael, still 50% chance of tropical development off our coast. And really, regardless of whether or not this becomes tropical or has a name, it's going to bring in some heavy rain, localized flooding and gusty wind especially late Monday into very early Tuesday. So the timing of this is admittedly a tricky part of the forecast. But let's kind of show you what's guiding all this. So there's our area of pressure off the coast. This is eight o'clock this morning and high pressure to the north with its clockwise flow is what's helping guiding it in our direction. So for today, we just see some sporadic showers, maybe a couple rumbles of thunder. These would move through pretty quickly. Here's this evening, low pressure gets a little bit closer to the coast of South Carolina. Now as it starts to draw in more moisture heading into tomorrow, you may see some morning rain for the commute, uh especially south of the triangle, but it's really late in the day tomorrow and heading into the nighttime hours that we start to see that heavy rain and gusty wind. This is a snapshot of what radar could like, look like as soon as 3 p.m. tomorrow and then lasting off and on into tomorrow night and into early Tuesday morning during that time frame, looking at 1 to 3 inches of rain locally, higher totals, especially as you go east of the triangle where more moisture is being pulled in. The tornado threat is a lot lower than it was with Debbie, but it's not necessarily zero. You see that level one risk for late Monday into Monday night, for Samson and Wayne counties during this time, late Monday into Monday night, we're also going to be tracking the wind associated with the, and it gives about a 25 to 35 mile per hour wind gust range. So, uh, again, it's not going to cause a whole lot of damage, but something that's worth keeping in mind for today, we see a few isolated showers and storms, high temperatures there in the upper seventies and lower eighties be keeping an eye on the forecast for Monday and Tuesday beyond that, highs in the eighties with your pretty typical scattered late day storms.
