This may be the last day you need to take an umbrella and a canoe to work. Most of the rest of the week looks sunny and comfortable.

But first we have to get through today, which has a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Those partly sunny skies will raise the temperature to 78. Winds from the south southwest will blow at 9-17 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph.

Some of the storms could be severe, with damaging winds and large hail. Isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Areas where the water is high could flood again during periods of heavy rainfall.

Tonight’s chance of precipitation is 40 percent, mostly showers, with a few thunderstorms possible. The low will be 51, with southwest winds at 6-14 mph and gusts up to 23 mph.

Saturday brings a 50 percent chance of showers, mostly cloudy skies, and a high near 65. It’s the first day of the Salisbury Rowan Farmers’ Market, so maybe if you go early, you’ll miss the rain.

And Sunday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 68.
