Sunny and Seasonable Today

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert-Heating Up: Skies will be brighter today with seasonable highs near 70. The hottest stretch of the year, so far, will take over at the end of the week, possibly leading to the first 90-degree day of 2025.

Good morning! Rain and thunderstorms are now out of the area after a Monday that brought a high of 83, tying the warmest day of the year so far. That statistic simply won't hold up through the rest of the work week, but today brings a brief reprieve from highs near 80 under what should be quite a bit of sunshine as high pressure follows the cold front. Highs will be around 70 today.

Tonight will bring the coolest conditions in several nights as the low actually drops just below 50.

Wednesday then brings some more clouds during the day as the next storm approaches in the form of a warm front that boosts humidity from the afternoon hours straight through tomorrow night. Highs will top out in the mid 70s with spotty drizzle possible late Wednesday night.

Highs jump to the mid 80s Thursday with some sun around, then that peaking ridge means that we should make a good run at 90 to end the week.

Weekend highs will be in the upper 80s and possibly 90.

The next cold front approaching Sunday. We're keeping Saturday's rain chance at 20% and keeping Sunday's rain/storm chance at 30% for now until timing comes into better view later this week.

After this, cooler conditions look to arrive behind this system next week.

Have a great day!
