A Cold Morning, Gorgeous Day

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert: A Frost Advisory continues for the entire ABC11 viewing area until 8am. Outside of a few showers Wednesday, we're in for an extended dry stretch and a weekend warm up.

Good Morning! Temperatures this morning have made it down to frost criteria-in the low to mid 30s for most. The Frost Advisory continues until 8am. High pressure will move offshore the Southeast U.S coast by the afternoon. This will be the primary driver of our weather. Afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 70s today under mostly sunny skies.

A cold front moves in from the northwest Wednesday and will bring a few showers near the midday timeframe. The first sprinkles will have to overcome the dry air before reaching the ground.

High pressure then settles back over the region at the end of the week and pleasant weather continues.

A ridge of high pressure will strengthen over the Central US through the end of the week. Guidance hints at some very light rain chances mainly south this weekend with a weak disturbance. I'm keeping the chance isolated for now. Highs will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s by Sunday, with lows in the 50s.

Have a good day!
