Sunday, there is a level 1 risk of severe storms for some gusty winds and localized downpours.

Labor Day weekend forecast: Level 1 severe storm risk for Sunday, expect gusty winds and heavy rain

Happy Sunday, our meteorologist, Chris Michael has got a lot to track here over the next few days, including the chance for some showers and storms late today and tomorrow and then a drop in temperatures and humidity levels after our labor day. So let's get to it. We do have a level one risk for some stronger thunderstorms would especially be as we head into the evening today, localized wind damage is what we'll have to watch for in any of those stronger storms and some of those that move a little slowly could produce some flood advisories, things like that. So we'll be keeping an eye, keeping an eye on that very closely as we go, especially later in the day. This is what radar may look like around 6 p.m. I do think most of these storms will be a little bit farther north and west than where futurecast is uh projecting them to be. But it stands to reason that most of what we see happens uh as we head into the evening, even by midnight, some showers and storms, especially south of the triangle as our front starts to push through first thing Monday morning. You do see the chance for some isolated showers and rumbles of thunder. And the trend is going to be for our afternoon downpours tomorrow to be more sporadic and mostly south of the Triangle. And those would be during your typical afternoon and evening hours. So the rest of the holiday weekend, today's hot, 91 the high in the Triangle tomorrow, we're in the mid eighties but still fairly humid on Labor Day. It's really Tuesday and Wednesday that we see humidity levels dropping and then eventually temperatures staying below average for this time of year. This is the 6 to 10 day outlook which takes us from September 6th through the 10th. And you see the below average temperatures most likely over the Tennessee and Ohio River valleys in the upper Midwest. But also the possibility for that to uh extend into next weekend here locally. So today may very well be one of the last 90 degree days that we have for quite some time. As you see Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, your highs only near 80 degrees. We turn more humid late this coming week into next weekend. We'll see the return of showers and storms. Your daytime high still only about 79 to 81.
