Good morning! Looks as though Wake and surrounding counties should see more of the inviting summer weather we were expecting. Today the high is supposed to reach the mid 90s, breaking the 90 barrier for the first time this year just three weeks from breaking the record for the latest day without breaking 90 (July 9, set in 2001). We should see mostly sunny skies today so if you can, try to get out and enjoy this wonderful summer weather!

Interesting situation today: Due to all of the rain we have had from the cold front and lingering  storms in the northwestern midwest, there are multiple flood watches throughout the northeastern United States as well as in central and southeastern Montana. Flood warnings have been reported in northern Montana and central N. Dakota. Down-river the affects of this rain are being felt as well with flood advisories being sent out throughout the lower Mississippi River and M. River Basin.

Finally, on the opposing side of these multiple deluges in the north, fire weather warnings continue for most of Nevada, northwestern Arizona, and western Colorado as arid conditions and high wind gusts make for the perfect scenario for a single spark's devastation.
