More rain forecast in Triangle
tool name
close xThe Triangle is expected to get one small burst of rain today from the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida before the skies brighten this weekend and temperatures reach the 70s.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a quarter to a third of an inch today for the Triangle, mostly in the morning hours. That comes on top of the 4 inches that have fallen this week, said meteorologist Scott Sharp.
Flooding in the Triangle has been minor to nonexistent, Sharp said, though officials are monitoring conditions along the Neuse River near Smithfield.
Temperatures are expected to reach only into the 50s today, with winds gusting at 20 to 25 miles per hour. But temperatures could reach 70 degrees Saturday, and Sharp said Sunday will be "glorious," with sunny skies and temperatures in the low- to mid-70s.
