Star’s First Alert Forecast: Rain wrapping up for the weekend

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - After getting some much-needed rain over the last 36 hours, the sun will return for Friday. Many in Eastern Carolina will have a smoky haze in the air because of nearby wildfires. Anyone with breathing sensitivities may want to limit outdoor time.

Overall, we should have a lovely first weekend of summer. Expect comfortable mornings in the mid 60s with afternoons in the mid to upper 80s both Saturday and Sunday. Humidity will be low Saturday so an absolutely perfect pool day and only a little more muggy for Sunday. A cold front will head this way by Monday night which could mean storms Monday evening and into Tuesday. The front will briefly knock temperatures down again but they’ll climb again through the end of the week.
