Sunny skies ahead

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert-Areas of Dense Fog: Some dense fog will be possible early Friday morning ahead of bright skies. Weekend rain chances will be spotty with increasing rain/storm chances Monday.

Good morning! It's a much cooler start behind the front with out-the-door temps in the 40s and 50s and some areas of fog. High pressure behind the front will lead to lots of sun today and highs in the low 70s. Clouds increase later today and tonight with lows in the 50s for most.

Expect intervals of clouds and sun Saturday. A weak disturbance will bring a shot at spotty showers between late morning and early afternoon, but most locations will remain dry.

Sunday is trending drier during the day with only a 20% chance of rain for Mother's Day. It'll be warm with highs in the low to mid 80s.

The next cold front will bring increased rain/storm chances Sunday night and Monday. Rain totals will be around 0.25-0.50 inch, with the highest amounts to the south and east. Instability remains limited, so severe weather is not expected, though downpours are possible.

We briefly dry out on Tuesday as high pressure builds over the Mid-Atlantic. The next system will bring rain/storms later in the day Wednesday. Cooler air returns early next week with highs in the low to mid 70s.

Have a great day!
