VIDEO FORECAST

WEATHER DISCUSSION: Weak high pressure is ridging in from the northwest while a gradually weakening nor’easter spins over the Atlantic south of New England. High pressure fully builds in tonight bringing mostly clear skies in the Cape Fear and pleasant lows nearing 60. For middle week high pressure will remain in charge with gradually increasing humidity values. Look for mostly sunny skies Tuesday with highs in the lower to mid 80s. A noticeable increase in mugginess Wednesday with plentiful sunshine and highs again in the lower to mid 80s. Thursday should continue the warm and rain free trend with a rather humid high in the lower to mid 80s. Enough moisture builds in by Friday to bring a slight chance of late day showers with above average highs in the mid to upper 80s. This weekend a cold front arrives and generally stalls out bringing a slightly better chance of showers and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm. Rain chances at this point are no higher than 30% Saturday and Sunday… otherwise look for sunshine and clouds both days with highs in the lower 80s.
