Afternoon & evening storms continue to start the week
Storms will continue to flow over the East from the north and west as the cold front we’ve been tracking slowly moves in from Virginia. The threat of severe weather will fade after 9 p.m. as the atmosphere cools and stabilizes under the rain. Showers and downpours will persist through the early hours of Monday morning. We may see a brief pause in the rain mid-morning on Monday, however it will be short lived as more rain develops after lunch. Highs will only reach the mid 80s thanks to the cloud cover and rain showers.
WITN
Tracking severe storm potential Sunday
Showers and storms will move into Eastern NC Sunday afternoon. With the threat of severe storms rising through the afternoon, Sunday will be a First Alert Weather Day.

Smithfield Heat Wave, Cooling Centers Open As Heat Index Tops 100
The blast of triple-digit heat-index weather is back in Johnston County this weekend, with parts of the county, including Smithfield, expected to feel well over 100 degrees. County officials are urging anyone who can to head for air-conditioned spaces during the hottest afternoon hours and to check in on older neighbors, young children and anyone without steady access to cooling. Local agencies have rolled out a short list of daytime cooling centers to give residents somewhere to ride out the worst of the heat.

Friday's heat comes with reduced air quality
The smoke and haze will hold over most of the East for Friday, however temperatures will still be able to reach the mid to upper 90s. A southerly wind flow will help push humidity slightly higher, creating a “feels like” temperature range between 102-108°. This heat will be potentially dangerous on its own, but we’ll also see reduced air quality, so limit your time outside as much as possible.
