Warming up into midweek

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Good morning! Out-the-door temps are in the 30s and 40s. Highs will rise above average today, topping out near 70 as high pressure builds over the region. Lows will be in the upper 30s to low 40s.

Expect sun and increasing clouds Wednesday wit highs near 80. Clouds start to thicken Wednesday night into Thursday ahead of the next cold front.

The timing for rain and storms Thursday still looks to be mainly during the afternoon and early evening as a band of showers and storms tracks from west to east. Dynamics are strong with this set up, but instability is lacking, and moisture is marginal. A few rumbles of thunder will be possible, along with gusty winds of 30-40mph with stronger storms.

Beyond Thursday, temperatures fall to seasonable levels Friday, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s Friday.

Temps will climb above average through the weekend. Mostly dry conditions can be expected with surface high pressure around most days, though the potential for a weak disturbance may bring a stray shower later Saturday night. Moisture looks incredibly fleeting, so this would be an isolated risk at best.

Have a good day!
