Temperatures will remain in the upper 60s to about 70 degrees.
Rain chances increase on Thursday. While the exact timing is still a bit uncertain there is the potential for some scattered downpours and even a thunderstorm.
Tropical Storm Helene is expected to become a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico later this week. Even though the storm will accelerate north into Florida and Georgia we are not expecting any impacts here. The storm will get "captured" by a big upper level low which will prevent it from getting too far north.
With Helene well to our south the weather looks quite nice this weekend for the Big E and the Durham Fair.
