WEATHER DISCUSSION: It is a very warm and rather humid Friday afternoon in the Cape Fear. High pressure remains in control with mostly sunny skies in place. Temps are around 90 well inland to the mid to upper 80s along the coastline. For tonight look for partly cloudy skies. it will be mild and muggy and patchy fog is possible late with lows dropping to around or a little over 70. A strong cold front arrives this weekend and passes through Sunday morning. On Saturday… it will be rather hot and humid ahead of this front as highs reach around or a little over 90 with sunshine and a few clouds. Heat indices could reach the upper 90s Friday afternoon and it will be a great day to cool off at area beaches. As the front approaches and moves through Sunday… look for widely scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop with the highest rain chances in the afternoon as highs reach the upper 80s under partial sunshine. The front will stall well offshore the southeast coast for early and middle portions of next week keeping a chance of unsettled weather in place as high pressure to the north provides a cooling trend and waves of low pressure gradually move up the front well offshore. Look for a 20% to 40% chance of daily showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder with the highest rain chances next Tuesday through Thursday. Expect cloudiness and partial sunshine each day with highs dropping below average… reaching from 81 to 82 each day. Overnight lows will average in the mid to upper 60s.
