RALEIGH, N.C. -- Saturday brought us clouds and cooler temperatures, but we are still warmer than normal.

  • Chance for scattered showers and storms
  • Summer-like temperatures throughout the next few days
  • We are currently tracking a tropical disturbance in the Caribbean

Upper level ridging over the region for the next few days will ensure our summer-like temperatures continue through the upcoming workweek.

As the ridge shifts east, it will allow for tropical moisture to flow into the area. So, it’s back to a summer forecast with warm temperatures and a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms.

Look for only a slight chance of isolated afternoon showers for the start of the work week. A more, significant amount of rain is likely through the second half of the work week.

We're tracking a tropical disturbance in the Caribbean that looks to track north into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. This area of low pressure has a high likelihood of becoming an organized, named system before the weekend is over. If so, the next name of the list is Michael. This system will directly impact the Gulf Coast States and will eventually spread some moisture our way by Thursday or Friday.
