Most of the remaining areas in Eastern NC remain in moderate drought status. The only improved conditions are the I-95 counties over the last few weeks.

Keep the umbrellas handy the next several days. Scattered showers with a few rumbles of thunder will continue on Wednesday with muggy mid 70s for highs. We’ll continue to see scattered showers and isolated storms through Saturday, as temperatures remain in the upper 70s to mid 80s, with muggy 60s at night. Widespread severe weather is not expected, but a few spots could see non-severe wind gusts up to 40-50 mph. Most areas should see 1-2 inches of rain through Saturday night.

Feeling good in the neighborhood! The mercury started off in the mid 60s back at sunrise. I think we'll peak around 87, low humidity degrees this afternoon under sun filled skies. Look for the same kinda day tomorrow before rain arrives on Friday. https://t.co/0Mmf1gE8If
Good news on the weather front folks...Not as hot this week. Highs this week will likely stay in the 80s for most areas with overnights dipping into the 60s each night. Lows along the coast will stay in the 70s. Rain chances will generally run 30% or less each afternoon. https://t.co/YSDyYed7MX
We'll be stuck in the oven the next 4 days folks. Highs each afternoon will reach the mid 90s inland to 90° on the coast. The heat index will run from 102°-107°. The hottest days will be Friday and Saturday. Both days will be First Alert Weather Days. Stay hydrated out there! https://t.co/VdIek3EYlO
