After sunset, showers and storms will begin to end and we’ll be left with a mostly cloudy night with temperatures in the 60s.
Tomorrow will be warm and muggy with highs near 90 in the Triangle and in the low 90s in the Sandhills. More showers and a few storms return Wednesday then Thursday will be much more pleasant with plenty of sunshine and highs in the low 70s. Expect a few showers in the overnight hours.
Friday will start off rather cloudy with clearing skies once we reach into the afternoon.
Mother’s Day weekend looks bright and beautiful with highs in the low 70s on Saturday and low to mid 80s on Sunday.
Be Well & Stay Safe,
