Most of the day should be sunny Monday, with the chance of storms not coming until the evening or even nighttime.

Sunny start to the week with milder temperatures, rain holds off until Monday night

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmoth in the WRL severe weather center, the rain has moved out and we had some decent rain in a few spots, the spots that you see in blue, those are areas that had half an inch to an inch of rain. Some of you didn't get much, but at least we had something as the cold front moved through. Now that the cold front has moved through, most of us should stay dry through the day today. Although computer models are indicating some of our southern counties late this morning could see another round of some rain. Cumberland County, Sampson County, perhaps around 1011 o'clock this morning, a few showers rolling through. But then we'll see a decrease in the clouds as we head into the afternoon and evening. And overall it should be a pretty nice day. The humidity will be down today and our rain chance is at about 20% today. We do not expect rain Tuesday, Wednesday or, but an isolated shower or storm will be possible over the weekend. About a 20% chance for rain Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there is a cold front that could impact us over the weekend, we might have to bump up rain chances. Right now, there's a lot of model uncertainty. So we'll keep it at 20% for now. Just giving you a little heads up that we might have to raise those rain chances a little bit. Especially for Saturday temperatures and dew points in the fifties and sixties for our dew points. We're in the upper sixties and low seventies this morning stepping outside. So the humidity will drop through the day today, that dry air will move in from the north. And by the time we get to lunchtime, it should be fairly low humidity with partly cloudy skies and temperatures near 80. So if you want to have lunch outside, it should be a pretty good day to do it. We'll get up to 85 in Raleigh and Durham today, 84 for the high in Fayetteville, starting off with some clouds, but we'll finish with some sun later on this afternoon and early this evening, we're still in the low eighties at 7 p.m. but back down into the upper seventies at 8 p.m. will be down into the low seventies around 11 o'clock tonight and we should get down into the sixties overnight tonight. Low sixties, Tuesday is going to be another nice day with low humidity. We'll have a high of 84 and then 89 for the high winds day. We're back in the nineties Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which is Father's Day 92 for the high on Sunday as we wrap up the weekend.
