North Carolina Forecast: Messy morning commute in store Monday with scattered showers by afternoon☔
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chris Michaels reported that showers will decrease late morning into the afternoon after a wet start to the day. High temperatures will range from 59 to 63°F across various locations. Isolated showers may continue into the evening, with more rain expected overnight into Tuesday morning, especially near and east of the Triangle. Another rain system will arrive late Tuesday, bringing heavy rain into Wednesday, with most areas receiving over an inch and a half of rain. Although most of North Carolina is in a drought, there’s a low flood risk due to expected rainfall. Chilly conditions will take over late in the week.
Prepare for a wet morning commute on Monday! We’re already seeing showers across central North Carolina Monday morning. Be sure to give yourself extra time for potential rain-related delays. The rain will become more scattered by the afternoon, with highs reaching the upper 50s.
For Monday night, we can expect cloudy skies with a slight chance of spotty rain. Before you head out the door, Lora Lavigne is in the WRAL Storm Tracker to give you a live look at the roads this morning.

In Depth with Dan: Answering viewer questions about flesh-eating bacteria, digital licenses
SUMMARY: In this Monday mailbag, Dan addresses viewer questions on three topics. First, North Carolina’s Vibrio bacteria risk in summer coastal waters: cooked shellfish is safe, but raw consumption is risky due to bacteria concentrating in oysters. Second, digital driver’s licenses in North Carolina face delays; although legalized in 2023, full rollout may not occur until 2026, with other states also lagging behind. Lastly, Dan explains flood-damaged vehicles after recent storms: flooded cars must be branded as such, but scams occur. He shares tips to spot flood damage when buying used cars, emphasizing caution and thorough inspection.
WRAL anchor/reporter Dan Haggerty answered viewer questions about a flesh-eating bacteria in North Carolina and the legalization of digital driver’s licenses.

The latest update on Tropical Storm Erin
SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to become a Category 1 hurricane by Thursday and remain well out to sea through Saturday, near the Lesser Antilles northeast of Puerto Rico. Models show it moving west, then curving north toward Bermuda or Florida, but uncertainty remains high beyond next week. The American and European models suggest it could pass between Bermuda and Hatteras, causing higher surf midweek. Due to large forecast errors, the storm’s exact path is unclear, ranging from north of New York to the Florida panhandle. Residents should prepare hurricane kits and stay updated, with clearer guidance expected by Thursday or Friday.
Will Erin cause problems for the East Coast? Here’s the latest on Monday evening.

Body of missing NC teen found in Florida, family says
SUMMARY: The body of missing North Carolina teen Gio Gio was found in Bradenton, Florida, confirmed by his family. Originally, Gio Gio was supposed to be picked up by relatives after meeting cousins in Florida, but he disappeared after texting his mother for help. His family’s private investigators, not the police, discovered his body near I-75 after police had initially searched the area. Gio Gio’s mother expressed her heartbreak on Facebook, calling it every parent’s worst nightmare. The investigation continues, focusing on the timeline after Gio Gio entered the car with his cousins. An autopsy is pending, with no immediate signs of foul play.
The body of Giovanni Pelletier was found in a retention pond, authorities said, and his mom is living “every parent’s worst nightmare.”
