Much of Debby's rain has moved out, but storms and flooding will still be possible this weekend.

Steamy with storms: Weekend weather returns to summer pattern

Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione here continuing to track. Actually some storms as we head through the rest of this weekend we get into tonight. Those chances will still be with us. We're not expecting though, any severe weather. I think our primary concern though would be just some more river flooding and those low lying areas because of all of the rain that we've seen over the past week or so. Here's a look at futurecast though. We do start to calm down overall and I think as we start our Sunday morning, we shouldn't have any major problems. It should be a quiet start for any early morning activities. Tomorrow. There's a look at lunchtime. We'll go for partly cloudy skies, just a couple light showers and then tomorrow afternoon that looks like our better chance for rain. Like where we've started the weekend off at. I think there's three o'clock you can see mainly from the triangle to the south. It's because of a boundary that's just right around the triangle that has some cooler air on the north, at least milder air and then some warmer air to the south that may spark up some storms So if you're headed to the grocery, if you're headed out for a walk, you go, you're going to the playground, something like that at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, you may wanna steer that a little bit closer to the morning to avoid any of that rain. We go forward here through the rest of tomorrow afternoon even, let's say 678 o'clock or so, there could be some lingering storms and then that trend, that theme like we've seen so many times this summer is gonna continue into next week. Here's a look at temperatures though, really not too bad. Upper sixties to the north, low to mid seventies from the triangle South. There are some locations in the mountains tonight, for instance, gonna be talking fifties. So we are headed toward that season where some cooler weather may be on the horizon here at least over the next couple of months. Afternoon storms for us tomorrow, upper eighties, 89 there for Fayetteville and we see temperatures still pretty warm the next couple of days. Again, there's a look at those rain chances Sunday, Monday, just some scattered coverage Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday does look dry though at this 0.88 for us tomorrow, 85 on Tuesday, low to mid eighties for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Looking ahead to next weekend, there could be a few storms around for Saturday but nothing that screams just a total drenching rainfall for any plans into the early part of next weekend.
