Highs Monday will be in the low to mid 80s, a welcome break from the recent heatwave.

Sunshine returns after brief Monday shower, highs in the mid-80s

<p>Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Bone here tracking what has been a, a bit of an active forecast to close out the weekend we look at where we head into tonight. So let's walk through Futurecast here. I think the majority of us are gonna see just some scattered storms continuing a lot of this coverage that will be out of here by the time we get to our early Monday morning commute. However, I do think there could be some leftover kind of lingering moisture mainly southeast of the Triangle tomorrow morning. What that would translate to is you may need the umbrella just for a little bit tomorrow and then it should work on through and we'll get some more sunshine by the time we get to tomorrow afternoon, starting off their attempts in the seventies for your Monday 84 degrees though tomorrow afternoon, that will be a big difference compared to what we have seen for the kind of past week or at least, you know, a little while 84 compared to the upper nineties, close to 100 it will feel more comfortable tomorrow. We'll get more sunshine. We'll see actually a very pleasant forecast. In that regard. 90 is our normal high. We go to 84 tomorrow, 87 on Tuesday, 91 on Wednesday, fourth of July though really starts to heat back up close to 100 at 100 on Friday. It will be very hot and humid. If you're on about for any fireworks celebrations. We are going to see comfortable conditions though Monday, Tuesday looking beautiful across the area. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, humidity levels, especially Thursday, Friday really start to ramp on up. Here's a look at the next seven days. We go to 84 today, 84 rather on our Monday, 87 Tuesday, 91 Wednesday and 97 on Thursday 1, 100 another triple degree temperature reading there on Friday. Scattered storm chances though again into next weekend, they should hold off for Fourth of July and we could use some more rainfall and thankfully, we do have some more at least potential shots at that coming in for next weekend.</p>
