Yucky weather moves out; snow stays way to north
The Triangle weathered days of dreary rain and cold, but missed out on early-season snow that blanketed Pennsylvania on Thursday.
Posted — Updated"We're about to see the end of the just general yuckiness," WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel said.
While spotty showers stick around through Thursday evening in the Triangle, warmer, sunny, clear days are on the way.
"Skies start to clear after midnight," Fishel said.
"For Friday, we may see some high clouds making the sun look milky, but the weather will be much, much more pleasant."
The return of the sun sends temperatures soaring back toward the norm for this time of year.
"Just to get the sun back will be enough to get us to 53 on Friday," Fishel said.
"It will be a beautiful fall day to get outside," Fishel said.
"If you were hoping for snow, there isn't any in the forecast, but you can find it at WRAL Winter Wonderland, at Saint Mary's School on Hillsborough Street immediately after the parade ends.
Wintry weather in the mountains, possible flooding to the east
Flooding could come later in the week further downstream. The data predicts moderate flooding (55.8 feet, or 13.8 feet above flood stage) on the Cape Fear River near the Cumberland-Bladen County line early Friday morning and that the Neuse River near Goldsboro will crest 3 feet above flood stage on Monday afternoon.
