Temperatures in the toasty lower to middle 90s are returning. Thursday and Friday will be hot ahead of a cold front later in the day Friday. The front will spark scattered showers and storms through the weekend as it slows down and stalls across the region.

Most spots are expecting around 0.50” to 0.75” of rain. But a few locations could pick up 1”+, depending on where the heaviest bands set up.
Even behind the cold front, temperatures will remain above average. Highs settle into the upper 80s and lower 90s into the next week as the pattern starts to turn drier again, with high pressure building in.
The peak of hurricane season arrives Thursday. But you wouldn’t know it by looking at the tropics. The Atlantic basin remains unusually quiet, with no storms expected at least for the next 7 days. North Carolina has seen multiple impactful tropical systems well after the historical peak. So it’s important to keep a close eye on things until hurricane season officially ends in November.
