Sunshine and dry weather returns

(WWAY) — Dry weather returns to the Cape Fear.

Behind a cold front that moved through earlier this morning, today, humidity will lower a little and dry weather builds in with plentiful sunshine and a few clouds with highs again in the lower to mid 90s. Late this week… high pressure and seasonably lower humidity means quiet weather with a good deal of sunshine and a few clouds and highs in the lower 90s. By this coming weekend… a front that was stalled to our south moves back north increasing humidity and moisture levels and bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms… mainly Sunday. Otherwise near seasonable temps are expected from 90-91 with sunshine and scattered clouds each day. Next Monday the front remains stalled over the region bringing widely scattered showers and thunderstorms and highs around 90.
