Raleigh hits one more hot, mostly sunny day Sunday, with temperatures climbing to about 90 degrees before a stormier pattern rolls in Monday and a sharp cooldown takes over by midweek. Weak high pressure will support generally favorable conditions Sunday.
Sunday night will be mostly clear, with temperatures dipping to around 70. Monday is expected to reach near 89 degrees before showers and thunderstorms develop after 2 p.m.; the National Weather Service in Raleigh says isolated strong storms could bring damaging wind gusts and very heavy downpours.
Monday And Tuesday Carry The Weather Risk
Storm chances continue Monday night and Tuesday, with showers and thunderstorms possible. The period could bring torrential rainfall and localized flooding concerns, which could create slick roads and localized flooding during commutes. The updated forecast adds sharper timing and a stronger storm signal than Hoodline’s earlier Raleigh outlook.
Cooler Air Arrives By Wednesday
Wednesday turns cooler and cloudier, with unsettled weather possible. Thursday stays gray and cool, while Friday will be mostly cloudy with patchy light rain or drizzle. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Raleigh area.
