Phillip’s First Alert Forecast: A damp night will give way to partly sunny skies Monday

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Drier weather will return to the area Monday and Tuesday as the boundary stalls far enough south to bring us drier weather. After a soggy weekend for most, a return to partly sunny skies and temps in the 80s will feel much more like the season Monday.

Winds will be light from the northeast Monday before becoming easterly Monday evening. This onshore wind will make the arrival of King tides noticeable to maritime interests. King tides will be with us all week. The full moon is Wednesday at 5am.

The return of southwesterly winds along with partly sunny skies will lift temperatures to near 90 Tuesday. Wednesday is likely to be the hottest day of the week with low 90s ahead of a cold front. The front will move in Wednesday night and is expected to spark some thunderstorms Wednesday evening.

In the tropics, a system in the northern Gulf of Mexico has a low chance of development this week. We will track it closely.
