Warm and humid....some storms later tomorrow....

Highs will warm into the 80s across much of the Carolinas today with a partly cloudy sky overhead. A back-door cold front is draped across the region today, but that front will really only bring cooler temps to the northeastern parts of NC, where places such as Elizabeth City will remain in the 60s today.

While one or two showers might pop up late today, the overall rain chance in any one spot today is very low.

A cold front will approach late in the day tomorrow. Ahead of the front, it will be quite warm with many locations achieving highs close to 90. From roughly mid-afternoon into the evening hours, we will likely see some scattered showers and storms move in from the west. Some of those storms late tomorrow could be severe with some damaging winds and large hail.

The exact location that the next front stalls out around our region will make all of the difference in the world in terms of our weekend forecast. At the moment, it looks like the best rain chance in NC this weekend will be south of I-40 with chances greatly diminishing south of I-40. However, even in the spots that are in a more favorable location to see scattered showers and storms, we are not talking about a wash out...just some scattered PM showers and storms.

An upper level trough will approach early next work week, and I still expect healthy rain and storm chances Monday into Tuesday.
