Saturday carries a Level 1 risk for isolated severe thunderstorms, mainly from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wind is the main threat.

ð§ï¸ Heavy rain brings Level 1 storm risk and flooding possibilities for the Triangle 

Hi, everyone. A meteorologist, Anthony Baglione checking in here with our forecast as we head through the rest of the weekend we get into tonight, we're still gonna watch the chance for a few storms coming on through. Temps. Aren't gonna be too bad, upper sixties and low seventies. But I do think as we go into the next couple of hours, even as we get closer to, let's say, even Sunday afternoon, we're gonna watch some more bubble up storms. Let's check out here futurecast. You can see as we go forward, I'm gonna play this out the time stamp there up in the right hand corner. We get into the early parts of our Sunday morning. Just some scattered storms possible. But I do think if you're headed out early for a morning walk, taking the dogs out. If you're, you know, just going for a drive or going to church, you should be ok. We're not gonna see much rainfall to start off with lunchtime is fine. Your plans. If you're headed out to get brunch or even just breakfast tomorrow, you should be perfectly fine in the morning. There's a look at three o'clock though. We get into the afternoon and evening. Some more storms may start to bubble up. There will be periods where it's drier and where we get some breaks. But I do think the afternoon and evening looks a little bit more unsettled 88 degrees for us for a high temperature, a little bit warmer than where we started the weekend off at. But still very comparable to where we should be for this time of the year. Check out the next seven days though. So a couple trains of thought here, this is very good for our drought situation. We could see some areas though of some, let's say localized flooding. If you know an area in your neighborhood that tends to flood may not be a great week for that because we're looking at potentially if this verifies 3 to 5 inches of rainfall over the next seven days for most of our viewing area. So when does that come? Let's check out here, the percentages if you will. I know there's a ton of percentages on this map. Essentially, what this is saying is our mornings are gonna start off pretty calm the afternoons and evenings every single day through basically early next weekend, we're looking at scattered storm chances where they tend to form. We get a couple of hours where it's a little bit unsettled, they may start to fizzle out. Then it's just kind of a repeat pattern. If you will through this week, temperatures though very manageable. 90 on Tuesday we go at the lowest 84 by the time we get into Thursday.
