Our area saw an increase in showers and thunderstorms for the Fourth of July on Wednesday and we also saw a decrease in temperatures.

  • Chance of showers for Thursday
  • A cold front will approach by Friday
  • Two area of disturbed weather in the tropics

Any chance for showers and thunder will decrease during the night.  On Thursday, we'll see another chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms with more moisture flowing in off the Atlantic.

By Friday, a cold front will approach North Carolina.  That front will increase our chances for showers and thunderstorms from Friday afternoon, through Friday night and into Saturday.  With the passage of the cold front, high pressure should give the area nice weather for the second half of the weekend.

In the tropics, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas of disturbed weather; one near Bermuda and a second system farther out in the Atlantic.  Both disturbances have the potential for development over the next three to five days.  Neither pose a threat to land at this time but will be watched closely.
