Coldest Night of the Season

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The sun will continue to break through the clouds the rest of today following the passage of the cold front earlier. It will remain breezy through the evening commute.

As we move into tonight, since dew points are in the 20s and lower 30s, temperatures outside of the city are going to go below freezing, especially north of the city. This will bring an end to the growing season, especially to those south of the city. A frost is likely to be around for many tomorrow morning. For many this will be the coldest so far this autumn.

The upper level low is forecast to shift southward on Friday, which will keep a strong pressure gradient over the eastern U.S. This will allow for a gusty breeze to continue; otherwise expect partly sunny skies with temperatures below the historical average.

Temperatures will warm up to around 60 by Saturday and pleasant and sunny conditions are in store for the weekend due to flow becoming more zonal and high pressure to the south causing winds to shift to the southwest.

By mid to late next week we can expect rain again as models are suggesting another low pressure system to develop, which will bring another cold front across the region. The GFS is quicker than the EURO, but both suggest we could see some rain on Thanksgiving Day.

Have a nice evening!
