12 News. Okay, Lindsay, thank you very much. Many people are wondering where to place their umbrellas during events. and many other things that require your participation. It's not looking good this week, is it? Okay, Dillon Butler, can you confirm or deny that my umbrella is in my back pocket. I put it in my back pocket. I always keep a small umbrella or a large pocket in there. Large pockets. Kenny, this is what I'm going to choose. You know, you have to have it handy. Any time in the next few days, really. This time of year we have a chance of seeing showers or storms at any given time, mainly in the afternoon. But please stay alert. It rained a lot today, it really rained heavily this morning and it just kept raining. Most of us wake up to the fact that the area is now starting to struggle, so it's looking good. It's been mostly dry overnight, but we've already gotten half an inch and even an inch of rain in some spots in the Piedmont Triad on Monday. Combined with the data we already have in July, it's close to ten inches so far this month. We still have a few days. We're running well above average, about six inches above average. We typically go from one of the driest Junes in recent years to one of the wettest Julys in recent years. So we're actually adding up these rainfall totals. We have another chance to win more tomorrow. As Kenny mentioned, you have to keep the rainfall going. Umbrellas on standby. It's in the 70s outside now and in the 60s in the mountains. We're not going to be completely cool tonight. It will be another warm and humid night early Tuesday morning. Showers are subsiding. We should be mostly dry but with lots of clouds overhead, and then by Tuesday morning we'll start to increase our rain chances a little bit. Gradually, our time is approaching 70 o'clock, and we will spend the night in the foothills tonight. No need to worry about fog or anything like that on your Tuesday morning commute. Conditions should be pretty good initially, but the chance of rain does start to increase, especially after sunrise. A weakening storm will move through Tennessee with some showers and storms likely moving into our area by late morning. Early afternoon. You'll see those weakening storms start to move around the Piedmont Triad. It's 2:00 now. There are some storms in the area. So I would say anywhere between 10pm and 4pm on Tuesday is the best time to watch the storm. It will also be a warm day. There is about a 40% chance of rain. 85. In the Piedmont Triad, it's 86 in the foothills and in the upper 70s to near 80 in the mountains. Late morning to early afternoon is the prime time frame to watch for several storms. Be sure to check with meteorologist Brian Slocum tomorrow morning. Make sure your time is still on track. But what I do and can tell you is that over the next few days, we're going to start getting intense. The 90s are back and they're here to stay for a while. We have another mini heat wave moving in at 91 degrees. 100 or 105. The summer heat is back. Be sure to take care of yourself during the middle and second half of the week. Now, before we wrap up, let's talk about the tropics. But it's been a while since we talked about things in the Atlantic. But now a tropical wave is starting to move across the mid-Atlantic. Just a broad spin. There were a few showers and storms. It will continue to move westward this week, and as it reaches the Greater Antilles and Bahamas, it may become more organized and potentially form a tropical depression or tropical storm, long-range forecast models show, excellently. This system is moving west and things will become more organized as it approaches the Bahamas around Saturday. From there, it will likely turn north and follow the East Coast. We just don't know yet. There's still so much uncertainty, but I just wanted to put it on your radar. That's what I'm paying attention to, and you should be watching the tropics over the next few days, too. the 90s. Make a comeback. The driest day will be
