(WGHP) — Mostly cloudy skies tonight with a very low chance for a stray shower. Temperatures fall into the 60s after 8 PM.
Monday will bring cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 60s to start the day. High temperatures will try and reach the upper 60s with rain chances increasing into the afternoon and evening hours.
Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 has formed off the North Carolina coast and has the chance to strengthen into a Tropical Storm by Monday morning. It’s forecast to move northwest across North Carolina into Tuesday. This tropical system will bring breezy conditions and rainy weather to the Triad for the start of the work week.
We’ll see periods of heavy rainfall and northeast winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph possible. The strongest winds look to arrive late Monday into early Tuesday. It’s recommended that any loose items in your yard be secured or brought inside during this event.
If the tropical system is able to move further west, the Triad could see more rainfall from this system. For now, it looks like we could see between 1 to 2 inches of rain with isolated spots picking up over 3 inches.
