Spring is Here!

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A few showers will climb north this afternoon. It then moves out this evening.

As the low departs from the area, clouds will decrease throughout the night. By Tuesday and into Wednesday, the skies will be mainly sunny. Highs are expected to top out in the 70s, above the historical average for the first part of March.

Looking Ahead

On Thursday, heights are expected to lower as a shortwave moves through the region, bringing temperatures down a few degrees. Moisture will be lacking as this moves through, limiting precipitation across the viewing area.

On Friday and the weekend, temperatures trend back upwards, largely topping out in the upper 70s each day. Meanwhile, a potent low and associated cold front will cross the central and eastern US over the weekend. The best chance for rain and thunderstorms is on Sunday with the frontal passage.

With favorable dynamics and instability expected ahead of the front, there will also be a severe weather risk on Sunday. It will be something to watch in the coming days.

Have a great evening!
