We had much better weather today in the triangle than was forecasted. The potentially inclement weather moved around the triangle and the rain fell elsewhere.

Tonight we should have fair and mild weather with isolated showers. Weather is looking very promising for the first half of the weekend! Perfect weather for the opening game of Wolfpack football! Friday should be mostly sunny and less humid with a high of around 86, and Saturday should be mostly cloudy with a high around 88 and a bit more humid than Friday. WRAL's forecast for Sunday? Cloudy with a chance of meatballs... not really. It's "Partly sunny, hot and humid with scattered afternoon storms." So, as students and families are getting geared up for fall, here comes the normal summer weather.

There is currently a severe weather statement in effect for the Southwestern United States, and a tornado watch in effect for the northern half of Wisconsin.

There is finally more of a tropical update for this unusually slow hurricane season! Post-tropical cyclone Juliette has been declared a remnant low for coastal risk and there will be no more advisories concerning her as a storm. There is some better news (or worse news depending on who you are and how you look at it) for the Atlantic! For the mid-Atlantic, there is a 30-50% chance, and for the African coast there is >50% chance that a tropical cyclone will be born within the next 48 hours. I will try to keep you all updated as best I can on this front.

For now, enjoy the weekend!
