On Tuesday, a cold front clears early in the morning and while a few showers are possible, Tuesday will be drier.

Meteorologists also are keeping an eye on a system in the Pacific. If it crosses the Bay of Campeche and emerges in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, it has a 40 percent chance to develop into a tropical system in the following five days.

This system is not likely to affect our weather in North Carolina.
