FORECAST: Cloudy and breezy today
FORECAST:
Mostly cloudy skies and breezy conditions are on tap for today.
It's still mild with high temperatures in the middle 70s!
We'll watch for a stray shower, especially in the High Country, but the day is not a washout.
Sunday will be a Severe Weather Alert Day as we track a strong to severe line of storms moving through the area.
The threat begins early tomorrow morning for the mountains around 4 am, shifts to the metro close to daybreak, and will continue moving east through noon.
Damaging wind gusts are the primary threat, but we're also watching for the potential of hail and tornadoes.
Heavy rainfall will also be a concern, with some spots picking up 1-2+ inches of rain.
The highest risk for flooding concerns will be in the mountains.
Once this main line passes, we could see a shower or storm redevelop in the afternoon, but the severe threat will be much lower.
Quiet conditions return by Monday and the first half of the work week.

Triad seems out of hurricane's reach
HIGH POINT — Hurricane Erin shouldn't have dramatic effects on the weather this week in the High Point area, though the same can't be said for the North Carolina coast, where some residents are evacuating and those staying are bracing for storm surge and high winds. Hurricane Erin chugged slowly toward the eastern U.S. coast Tuesday, stirring up treacherous waves that already have forced dozens of beach rescues days before the biggest storm surges are expected, and Gov. Josh Stein declared a state of emergency Tuesday as North Carolina mobilizes resources and personnel to assist along the coast. But if Erin follows the forecast path, the massive storm will remain off the coast, so in the Triad its greatest effects will be making conditions breezy Wednesday and Thursday, said Brian Slocum, meteorologist with WXII-TV. 'Winds might gust at 20 to 25 mph,' Slocum told The High Point Enterprise. 'Rain chances are a little bit higher, but we're not going to see any rain bands from Erin coming in here unless something significantly changes with the track. And the track has been consistent for the last few days.' Erin has become an unusually large and deceptively worrisome storm while moving through the Caribbean, with its tropical storm winds stretching 200 miles from its expect it will grow larger in size as it moves through the Atlantic and curls north. Warnings about rip currents have been posted from Florida to the New England coast, but the biggest threat is along the barrier islands of North Carolina's Outer Banks, where evacuations have been ordered for Dare and Hyde counties. Erin is expected to produce tropical storm force winds, dangerous surf with waves of 15-20 feet, inundation to roadways and neighborhoods and rip currents along shorelines. AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said that the Outer Banks will receive the worst impact from Erin of any area along the East Coast of the United States. 'Coastal North Carolina could experience gusts of 40-60 mph between Wednesday night and Thursday night as the storm passes offshore,' DaSilva said. 'Rough surf from Erin could cause significant beach erosion along the Carolina coastline this week. Some beachfront homes in erosion-prone areas could be damaged or even at risk of collapsing into the water.' Slocum told The Enterprise that the High Point area and Piedmont Triad as a whole were fortunate with the track of Erin. 'A worst-case scenario is that this could have taken more of a northwest track and came in along Charleston and then into central North Carolina,' Slocum said. 'You'd be looking at a Category 2 or 3 at landfall with 100 mph winds by the time it reached us. The fact that this is staying offshore is a godsend.' Solve the daily Crossword
