Your Weather Planner
After a nice break from stormy weather Tuesday, we'll enjoy a mainly dry day Wednesday with just a bit more cloud cover.
As temperatures climb through the day, you'll see cloud cover increasing. By the afternoon, expect a mix of sun and clouds as temperatures max out in the 70s and 80s. If you're heading to the beach Wednesday, be aware of a moderate rip current risk along parts of the Crystal Coast and southern Outer Banks.
Wednesday will likely be our last dry day before a few afternoon storms return to the forecast for the last couple of days of the week.
