Raleigh, N.C. — Chances for storms late Monday fizzled out across central North Carolina.

“The storm threat is done,” WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze said.

There were no official storm reports from the area, but some people posted on Facebook that they had some trees down or damage to their homes, Maze said.

“We will be closely monitoring a front that will waver near North Carolina throughout the week,” Maze said. “A few weak disturbances will ride along the front this week and bring the chance for scattered, late day showers and storms, but we aren’t expecting washout conditions any day.”

Monday featured seasonal warmth and humidity, with temperatures in the mid 80s to low 90s. The humidty will rise throughout the evening along with the chance for showers.
