Today's Forecast

87°
62°

The unsettled weather will begin to back off over the next couple of days, and conditions will turn more humid and very warm for the weekend.

An isolated shower or thunderstorm may develop again towards this evening, however, the coverage of the storms across the region will be much smaller than the previous several days. Otherwise, it will be partly to mostly sunny and humid with highs in the upper 80s!

Overall, Saturday through Memorial Day Monday look dry, but an isolated storm could not be ruled out any afternoon or evening. Weekend highs will go to near 90, and lows will hold in the 60s.

In the tropics, an area of low pressure brewing over the Caribbean may become Tropical Storm Beryl by early in the weekend. This could impact the Carolina beaches, so stay tuned if you have interests there for Saturday or Sunday.
