Back to the 90s: Summer temperatures, humidity return to NC
On Saturday morning, the Triangle woke up to crisp, cool temperatures. By the afternoon, temps had warmed up to the upper 70s, with clear skies, sunshine and low humidity.
Posted — UpdatedWRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said dew points beginning to rise, so expect a warm week ahead and showers and storms by the weekend.
"It's this afternoon that you're going to notice the jump in humidity," Gardner said.
Temperatures will quickly return to the 90s on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with unsettled weather returning Thursday or Friday as a cold front slides through.
Even though the 80s will return by the end of the work week, Gardner said the humidity will be at its highest level.
For those who are big fans of fall, don't be fooled just yet. Above-normal temperatures are back in the forecast for much of the month of September. There's a high confidence of above normal temperatures for North Carolina through Sept. 24.
Busy again in the tropics
