SUMMARY: Meteorologist Taylor Stephenson reports ongoing rain and flood alerts in Southside and Northeast North Carolina, with a flash flood warning in parts of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach until 5:45 p.m. Showers are scattered, mainly south and northeast. Temperatures remain below normal, in the upper 70s to mid-80s, with highs near 90 by midweek. Rain and storms persist through Friday, easing by the weekend with drier weather early next week. Tropical Storm Erin, currently weak, may intensify into the season’s first major hurricane by midweek, affecting Atlantic regions. Beachgoers should prepare for wet, hot, and humid conditions, with high surf and current risks.

By the weekend, we’ll see much sunnier skies, but we’ll stick around the mid-80s for a while.
