It's been a long dry spell for the Cape Fear region. But, for the first time in months, it appears we may be getting back to normal. After this week's widespread rainfall, portions of the northern region are entirely clear of drought. Elsewhere, only southern Bladen and Robeson counties are still under Level 1 drought conditions. Things may further improve over the next couple of days as a series of low-pressure systems cross the Carolinas ahead of the weekend.

The SPC's Level 2 risk for this afternoon-evening ticked a bit further south. https://t.co/Gm1JzxW4mX

Any showers that develop today should stay well to our north. Saturday looks similar, but we'll be watching a dying storm system crossing the mountains. If it holds together, the northern region could see late showers.

After a morning low in the upper 60s, the Sandhills will race headlong into the mid-90s this afternoon. Please take it easy outdoors: We haven't been this warm sinnce last September.
