Newport, North Carolina – Thunderstorms could return to North Carolina next week, as a front moving through the region brings increased moisture and a chance of showers, particularly on Tuesday and Wednesday. Residents should stay alert as conditions could lead to scattered rainstorms.
According to the National Weather Service in Newport, a front will bring a modest increase in rain chances early next week, though the risk of severe thunderstorms remains low across eastern North Carolina. Forecasters are keeping a close watch on moisture levels coming from the south, which could spark brief showers or isolated thunderstorms.
The front’s greatest impact will likely occur in the central and eastern parts of the state, including cities like Raleigh and Greenville. Travel could be affected, especially along major highways like I-95 and I-40, as wet conditions increase by midweek.
