The moisture and leftover energy from Tropical Storm Arthur in the Gulf earlier this week will move across central North Carolina on Friday morning.
It will bring widespread rain that could total around an inch for some, but it also brings a low risk of severe weather. This could include damaging winds, heavy rain, lightning, and even a low threat of a brief tornado.
By Friday afternoon, the storms will have moved out, and a weak cold front will move through. This cold front will bring slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity Friday night through Saturday.
Father’s Day Sunday will heat right back up with mid-90s expected. This has already been an incredibly hot month with four record high temperatures, including the record high of 99° at RDU airport on Thursday afternoon.
