First Alert Forecast: storm odds rolling into the new week

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Good to see you late this Sunday! A system will roll through the area tonight into Monday enhancing the risk of showers and a few possibly strong thunderstorms. The primary threat with these storms will be damaging winds, but hail and cloud-to-ground lightning cannot be ruled out as well. Highs will still manage to climb into the seasonable 80s in the afternoon amid mild southwesterly breezes.

Heat and humidity surge back into the area starting Tuesday along with isolated showers possible. A cold front will reach the Carolinas and stall near the coast through Thursday, bringing another surge in shower chances. Keep the umbrella in the backseat this week!

Thankfully, the Carolinas have no definable tropical storm threats through early this week.
