Tuesday is a WRAL Weather Alert Day to a medium threat for flooding and a Level 1 risk for storms with damaging winds.

WRAL Weather Alert Day: Flood risk and storms with damaging winds in store Tuesday

<p>I'm meteorologist Chris Michaels from the Wral Severe Weather Center. Today, we have that medium risk for flash flooding but also new this morning is a level one risk for severe thunderstorms. An indication that we could see some localized wind damage. We're talking behind the scenes as to whether or not we issue a Wral weather alert day, stick with K Campbell at noon to see if that indeed does happen. These storms are going to have quite a bit of fuel to work with both in the form of heat and that tropical humidity. It's going to lead to a peak heat index of about 101 to 105 this afternoon. Not enough for heat advisory, but still, uh definitely hot enough to where you want to take it easy out there this afternoon. Future casts showing that by lunchtime we're in mostly good shape by three or 4 p.m. I could see a few pop up storms. It's really as we head deep into the evening, I'm talking after seven or 8 p.m. that I see a line or a broken line of showers and storms coming in that could lead to that chance for flooding or localized wind damage, something that we saw yesterday afternoon and evening as well. Now, by tomorrow morning, maybe a few stray showers, but we should be in decent shape by then. So today's flood threat is at that medium level. By tomorrow, it's a little lower. Thursday comes back up as we see a front really stall out over the area again and teaming up with our tropical humidity. That's when I expect more often on rain showers and thunderstorms. And again, you've got that tropical moisture and humidity to feed off of. It really feels very sticky out there as it has over the past several days and several weeks. There is some good news on the horizon. If you're not a fan of the humidity, it comes down a little bit heading into the weekend, starting with Saturday and then especially into Sundays, we start to see the wind shifting out of the north and out of the west. So your seven day forecast reflects all of that today, the high 91 tomorrow 90 but the humidity will add insult to injury with regards to the heat Thursday and Friday. High temperatures about 81 to 83 because of more cloud cover and more rain. A look ahead to the weekend. Little to no issue. High temperatures, 86 to 88.</p>
