Independence Day/ Weekend Forecast

Independence Day:

July 4th will be partly cloudy, hot and slightly more humid with temperatures mainly in the lower 90s all across the state. I expect a high of 92 around the Triangle area. There is just a slight chance of a shower/storm across the mountains and then again towards the coast. Through the Triangle, it should stay dry through the whole day but an isolated shower could occur so do not be surprised if you get under one. There could be some periods where there will be more clouds then sun but it should not ruin the day. Temperatures during the evening for fireworks etc will be in the lower 80s. Humidity will be on the rise throughout the evening so it may begin to become uncomfortable as the evening wears on.

Weekend:

There appears to be a very good chance of seeing showers and thunderstorms Saturday and then again on Sunday. Ingredients appear to be coming to together for beneficial rains across the entire southeast. It will not be raining every hour of both these days, but the afternoons and evenings should see very good coverage of showers and storms across the state. Temperatures will stay shy of the 90 degree mark due to hefty amounts of moisture and increased cloud cover. It will also be very humid both days as I expect dew points in the upper 60s and lower 70s.
