The rain showers that moved through this morning have cleared the coast, marking the last drops that will fall in the East over the next several days. An area of high pressure will develop along the backside of the front that brought in the rain, which will keep our skies sunny and our forecast dry until Friday. Temperatures will respond positively to the increased sunshine, reaching the mid 80s by Tuesday, the upper 80s by Wednesday and the low to mid 90s over Thursday and Friday.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - The National Hurricane Center has given the disturbance in the deep Atlantic a new designation, Tropical Depression 2. Wind speeds at formation were reading 35 mph (45 mph gusts) with a westerly movement at 17 mph. The storm is set to increase its intensity as it reaches the Caribbean later this weekend, potentially reaching hurricane strength by Sunday afternoon. There is no immediate threat to the U.S. over the next week, but this is certainly a system worth watching.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Wednesday will be a First Alert Weather Day due to dangerous heat. Temperatures will reach the upper 90s across many communities, and with humidity staying elevated, our heat index will likely range between 100 to 110°. To put this into perspective, when the heat index hits 105°, the National Weather Service issues a Heat Advisory. Our current expected range would put most in the East under a possible heat advisory.

The high pressure system that has kept us sunny and dry this week is moving eastward towards Bermuda, slowly reducing its impact on our weather pattern. Temperatures will climb into the low to mid 90s over the next eight days with humidity climbing as well. This combination could, at times, create dangerous heat, which is why Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be First Alert Weather Days. The heat index across the East will range between 100-107°.

After a stormy Saturday, our forecast will start to mellow out as rain exits but clouds remain. Temperatures today will rise to the low 70s due to the lingering cloud cover and the cooler flow of air out of the northeast. Wind speeds today will range between 7 to 15 mph for many inland communities while the coast enjoys a 10 to 20 mph sustained breeze. Winds will hold through today into Monday, keeping temperatures about ten degrees cooler than average over the next two days.
