First Warning Forecast: Lingering showers to start the work week, hotter midweek

Good morning, North Carolina! Get ready to grab that umbrella one more time before our week truly heats up.

For those of you in northeast North Carolina, don’t put away that rain gear just yet. We’re tracking some lingering scattered showers this Monday morning that could impact your commute and early activities. While not a washout, expect damp conditions and keep an eye on the radar if you’re out and about, especially through midday across areas like Elizabeth City and the Outer Banks.

But fear not, sunshine is on its way! We’ll see those clouds break and conditions dry out significantly by Tuesday, paving the way for a truly hot midweek. Temperatures will steadily climb into the upper 80s and low 90s across much of the state by Wednesday and Thursday, bringing back that classic North Carolina summer feel. So, prepare for plenty of sunshine and rising humidity as we head deeper into the week.
