What a Weekend!

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Good morning! After a good soaking of rain yesterday, with the RDU airport officially reporting 1.36 inches, we're left with just lingering drizzle and fog in spots. Expect some peeks of sun early, with partly cloudy skies this afternoon. Out-the-door temps are in the 40s and 50s. Highs will range from the upper 50s to low 60s today with gusts at high as 20mph. This will be the start of a warming trend into next week.

High pressure will settle back over the Mid-Atlantic and through the weekend. Conditions will remain dry with temperatures pushing slightly above normal for the weekend. Highs will be in the mid/upper 60s with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s. There is a chance for patchy frost Saturday night.

Early next week will see continued warmth as the high moves to our south and lingers, promoting a continued southwest wind. Highs will remain firmly in the low 70s Monday through Wednesday.

Rain chance will climb by midweek as the next front approaches along with possible enhanced tropical moisture from what remains of Sara. Prepare for a big cool down by the end of next week. Highs Thursday and Friday will be in the mid 50s to low 60s.

Tropics-Sara: On the forecast track, the center of Sara will continue to move close to the northern coast of Honduras through early Saturday, then approach the coast of Belize early Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Some slight strengthening is possible during the next couple of days when the center of Sara moves over water to the north of Honduras.

Have a good day!
