Rain at Times This Weekend

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Good morning! Out-the-door temps are some of the coldest since last year, with lows in the teens and 20s. These next few days will be the nicest of this forecast period. Expect seasonable highs in the 50s, a good amount of sun. Shower chances increase this weekend. Dangerous cold arrives next week.

Temperatures will be on the rise again on today and Friday as a weak ridge starts to build and shift eastward. Highs today will be in the upper 40s to lows 50s, with lows in the 20s. Highs Friday and Saturday will be in the 50s with lows in the 30s and 40s.

A low-pressure system is forecast to develop over the south-central United States and track eastward into the Atlantic over the weekend. This will bring the chance for rain to the viewing area with the best chance of precipitation early-day Saturday with lingering showers possible on Sunday. There is a slight chance for a few snowflakes to mix in with showers late Sunday for areas along and north of I-85. There are no accumulation concerns as of this writing. We will continue to track the timing and track as there are still some model differences, but it is looking more and more likely that there will be some rain over the weekend.

More Wintry Precip Next Week??: Guidance is now starting to focus in on another disturbance digging into the West around next Monday, which may result in potential for light wintry precip by the middle of next week. We'll monitor.

Have a great day!
