After a WRAL Weather Alert Day the last two days, we'll have another one on Monday with another chance for strong storms in the evening.

WRAL Weather Alert Day: Storms calm down Sunday night, another Weather Alert Day on Monday

<p>Hi everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglion here checking in with our forecast as we head through tonight and the upcoming week. We still have the potential as we go through tonight for a few showers and thunderstorms. I got to say that the coverage is gonna be really few and far between. Most of us are going to see a dry time for tonight. But there could be still a few bubbling storms that try and work their way through. Monday morning for the commute, we are totally dry. We should see a lot of sunshine. It will be a totally nice start here for our week. It's going to be another hot day though as we head into tomorrow. Starting off in the mid-60s to the north, upper 60s, and lower 70s for everyone else, and then a high of 91 Monday afternoon, or I should say 90, 91 right around there. As far as any rain chances are concerned, we will see a little bit more storm coverage tomorrow evening. After about 8 p.m. There's another risk for some strong to severe storms, but again, most of the day is totally dry. Those don't come in until probably after about 7 to 8 p.m. tomorrow night.</p>
