A Little Cooler Today

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Good morning! We're off to a cold, yet seasonable, start with out-the-door temps in the upper 20s to low 30s. High clouds continue to stream in across the region this morning. While the day will start rather cloudy, high pressure anchored across northern New England should clear out some high clouds for the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 40s to mid 50 with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Late tonight into early tomorrow, low-level flow is expected to shift to be more southerly increasing moisture transport into the region. Spotty showers may develop Friday afternoon and Saturday as a few disturbances work through the region. But, there will be a lot of dry time. Highs Friday will be in the 50s.

The weekend will be much warmer with highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s.

Rain and isolated storm chances increase late Saturday night and Sunday as the next cold front approaches. There is potential for locally heavy rain Sunday. Rain totals will be around 0.50-1" for most with isolated higher amounts near 2" possible. These storms will quickly clear out by Monday morning, but temps highs will remain in the mid 60s.

Another storm is will bring a shot for showers on New Year's Eve (Tuesday) into New Years Day. Highs will range from the mid 50s to mid 60s Tuesday with lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s. Cooler/seasonable air arrives January 1 with highs mid 50s to low 60s.

Have a great day!
