It'll be partly cloudy, but still breezy in the afternoon.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Some of the coldest air of the season has moved into central North Carolina.

Friday morning was the coldest morning of the fall -- so far. There was a freeze warning until 9 a.m.

The cold continues with a chilly breeze Saturday morning, so for those who attended the ABC11 Raleigh Christmas Parade had to bundle up.

It'll be partly cloudy, but still breezy in the afternoon. Temperature highs will be near 60 degrees, and then drop into the 30s Saturday night.

Sunday will be brighter with highs in the mid-60s, then in the 70s Monday with some afternoon clouds.

Some of the coldest air of the season is moving in tonight and that will come with a freeze watch for central North Carolina.
