A stationary boundary lifts northward, bringing increasing clouds and a more humid feel on Monday. While a few showers are possible through the day, the best chance for rain will be across the Sandhills and southern counties during the afternoon and evening as a cold front approaches from the north.

For most of the Triangle and areas farther north, rainfall amounts will be light, generally less than a quarter inch. Communities closer to the South Carolina border could see more meaningful rainfall, with localized totals approaching one-half inch to one inch where showers are more persistent.
Behind Monday’s front, a much drier air mass moves into the region. Dew points will drop noticeably on Tuesday through Thursday, bringing another stretch of comfortable weather with lower humidity and highs mainly in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
The break from summer-like conditions won’t last long. By late week, high pressure will shift offshore and allow warmer, more humid air to surge back into the Carolinas. Temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 80s by Friday and could return to the lower and middle 90s next weekend.
The developing pattern looks very similar to the one that produced the recent stretch of 90-degree days across central North Carolina in May. As a ridge of high pressure strengthens over the eastern United States, both heat and humidity will increase, bringing a much more summer-like feel heading into the second week of June.
FORECAST
MONDAY will be partly cloudy with scattered showers and storms, mainly during the afternoon. The high will be 83. Winds will be 5 miles per hour out of the southwest.
