Flood watches and warnings persist through Sunday for counties along and east of Interstate 95. The Triangle could see scattered thunderstorms on Sunday, a product of typical summer weather patterns rather than a tropical system.

Scattered afternoon storms continue Sunday; Flood Watch for the Sandhills

Happy Sunday. I'm meteorologist Chris Michaels in the Wral severe weather center flood watch is in effect until 10 pm. For Cumberland Sampson and Wayne counties. This is where flooding is possible because we see the additional development of scattered showers and storms. So you need to know that it's not going to be raining all day. But because of how wet the ground is any scattered storm that develops, could produce some flooding. I could see a straight hour storm around Harnett and Johnston counties early this afternoon. It's late afternoon into the evening that we see the better chance of these scattered storms popping up in the southern half of the area. Durham, Roxboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, South Hill, you stand lesser of a chance than maybe areas like Fayetteville, Clinton and hope Mills for seeing storms and that pertains to the evening hours as well. So for today, you're looking at Durham Rocky Mount Raleigh 88 degrees Fayetteville, near 90. Then as we head into the overnight Roxboro and South Hill in the sixties, Durham, 70 Clinton, Goldsboro, 73 and that's with a front that's situated over the area. Now, eventually all of us are going to get a taste of some drier air working its way in, especially by Wednesday and Thursday. Once a front passes through, that's when things are going to start to feel at least a little more to, with regards to the humidity. So enjoy that Wednesday and Thursday, by Friday and Saturday, we'll have another area of low pressure overhead that kicks up the chance for some scattered showers and thunderstorms. The one good thing about it is that it is likely to take a tropical system and push it away from the east coast of the US. That's at least what the preliminary forecast data is suggesting. With this tropical system, it's got a 90% chance of developing here within the next seven days. Still about 1000 miles east of the lesser antilles. So we've got quite a bit of time to track that here at home for the next seven days. Eighties for highs today, near 90 tomorrow, slightly better chance of showers and storms Tuesday. But once that front passes through smooth sailing highs in the low to mid eighties, lows in the mid to upper sixties, the rest of the week.
