Drier and brighter end to the weekend

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A chilly start today in the 30s and 40s and a cool afternoon with highs in the mid 60s.

Decent rainfall totals along and east of I-95 yesterday. Widespread .50" of rain with some areas getting .75". From Raleigh to the north and west was much less with RDU getting only .05" and just a trace north and west of I-85.

Warmer tomorrow near 80 degrees, then low to mid 80s Tuesday and Wednesday and breezy.

Wednesday should be mostly cloudy and a shower possible late in the day, but more likely thunderstorms overnight into Thursday as the next front approaches. Some of the storms might be on the strong side too.
Long range guidance a little bullish on rainfall totals...hoping this holds as we need a good soaking.Clearing and cooler for Friday.

Have a great day!
