Expect scattered showers in the morning on Tuesday, transitioning to a high chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.


Heat index nears 100Â° Tuesday ahead of later storm potential

<p>I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the wr a severe weather center, some thunderstorms remain possible tonight. We still have that risk for flooding through about midnight. Today is a wr a weather alert day. Now transitioning to more of a flooding threat and as the sun said, we're going to see that severe risk going down but the stalled front still hanging out nearby and bringing unsettled weather, not just tonight but into the day tomorrow, much of the week as well overnight, we've got showers and storms. I don't think that we're going to see as many as we saw last night. Just more of an isolated storm possible overnight. So I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few rumbles of thunder, but most of us shouldn't see that and only about a 20% chance for rain during the morning commute on Tuesday, lunchtime, nice and dry. I think things will be quiet for us during the day and we should actually be able to heat up because of that. As we look ahead during the afternoon, we could see an isolated storm by about three, four o'clock. But better storm chances look like they're going to come as we get toward 5678 o'clock at night. So it's really more of an evening storm threat for Tuesday. If you are itching to get out of the house, maybe head to the pool should be a good day to do it. Especially since it's hotter. We are back up to 91 for the high on Tuesday. And during the daytime hours we should be primarily dry. It's the evening that I think we'll see the most chance for storms, both Tuesday and Wednesday. It may be a couple hours earlier but still primarily afternoon and evening threats. Thursday, a good chance for rain and that 1 may end up being at pretty much any given point in the day, an 80% chance of rain. Thursday. Needless to say you get a break from watering your garden for the next week, I really think even though you're not necessarily going to see a ton of rain every day, you should see enough where you can lay off the watering and sprinklers. This is the weather set up. We've got a big pattern change that we've seen over the past week, the jet stream flipped on us and the way it's working now, you can see the flow here. It's steering any bits of rain toward North Carolina, any of those systems or waves of energy pushed into North Carolina. And then also you get all that moisture from the Gulf of Mexico that makes its way into North Carolina as well as we look ahead at your flooding risk. It is going to go down a little bit in the coming days. More of a low end threat compared to the moderate threat that we have today. But just a heads up there could still be some localized flooding, especially uh flood advisories issued for the areas at sea. The heaviest rain, there's just a lot of moisture available to ring out of the atmosphere. With these thunderstorms. 91 degrees on Tuesday, 90 on Wednesday, a big drop in temperatures. Thursday and Friday highs are only in the lower eighties and then we warm up a little bit over the weekend. By the time we get to Sunday and Monday, we could break out of this wetter weather pattern. Finally.</p>
