North Carolina Forecast: Rain returns Monday with evening storms possible ⛈️

Grab your umbrella! The rain isn't over yet. Your Monday morning commute is looking quiet, but we could see some sprinkles. The bulk of the rain isn't expected to arrive until later in the day. By the late afternoon and evening, we are likely to see scattered showers and storms. Don't put those rain jackets and umbrellas away just yet, we have a stretch of unsettled weather on the way. Temperatures will also ramp back up this week, climbing into the 90s by Wednesday and Thursday. We have a chance for rain on Monday, with the best chance for storms during the afternoon commute into the evening.
Rain chances will continue throughout the week. We are now under a level 1 risk for Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll most likely see the same risk level or higher for Thursday and Friday, but no severe risk has been issued yet. WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said damaging winds will be the biggest threat, and rain will be heavy at times.
After a brief break from 90-degree temperatures, the summer-like heat is set to return Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday has a high of 92 degrees, but it could feel even hotter. Things will feel tropical on Thursday before we drop to more comfortable humidity levels on Friday as a cold front moves into the area.
With all this warm weather, the flowers and trees are blooming - meaning pollen counts are high. If you're sneezing, spring allergies could be to blame.
As of April 29, rainfall stats for our area are down from normal levels. RDU is in a 2.29" deficit for April while Fayetteville is in a deficit of more than an inch.
