WHATEVER PIECE OF NORMAL THERE IS TO GET BACK DO. >>> CERTAINLY, OUTDOOR ACTIVITY OVER THE WEEKEND SHOULD FEEL GREAT. OUR TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY PLEASANT. 70 TODAY. AND SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, WE ARE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER. WE WILL GET SQUEEZED BY TWO TEMPERATURES. WE WILL STAY ON EITHER SIDE OF 70. LOOKING BEAUTIFUL IN RALEIGH. THE SUN IS BEGINNING TO LIGHT THINGS UP. WE WILL SEE BEAUTIFUL SKIES. AND HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THIS LITTLE PRESSURE SYSTEM IS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT US THE RAIN EARLIER IN THE WEEK. IT MOVED ON OUT. WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL DAY YESTERDAY. AND TODAY WE WILL HAVE A PRETTY DAY, TOO. BUT IT'S BACKING UP TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES AND IT'S GOING TO PUSH CLOUDS OUR WAY ON SATURDAY. THEN, THIS FRONT GOES BACK TO THE WEST AND WILL SEND US CLOUDS TOO. THERE'S A GOOD BIT OF RAIN ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THUNDERSTORMS. WE WON'T SEE ANY OF THAT. THIS FRONT WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EASTWARD. WE WILL WATCH THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AS IT EASES BACK DOWN TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES. AND HELPS TO BRING US A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUD COVER. IT KEEPS THE WINDS, TOO. COMING OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. AND HERE'S A LOOK AT FUTURECAST. THIS HIGH WILL KEEP THINGS DRY FOR US TODAY. AND HERE COMES THE LOW. AND THAT BROWN HATCHED LINE RIGHT THERE, IT'S ACTUALLY A TROUGH. IT ACTS LIKE A WEAK COLD FRONT. SO IT'S GOING TO SWING SOUTHWARD. AND HELP TO USHER IN CLOUDS. THERE'S 7 A.M. TOMORROW ON SATURDAY, AND WE WILL SEE THE CLOUDS ON AND OFF DURING THE DAY. MORE CLOUD COVER THE FARTHER NORTH AND EAST YOU ARE. THE HIGH BUILDS IN, AND KEEPS THINGS DRY AND WE ARE TRACKING THE FRONT. THIS FRONT IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE GETTING HERE. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS PUSHING IT BACK TO THE WEST AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM US. WE WILL SEE CLOUD COVER ON SUNDAY. BUT THE RAIN STAYS BACK TO THE WEST. MAYBE A QUICK LITTLE SHOT OF A SHOWER FIRST THING ON MONDAY MORNING. AND THEN WE SHOULD BE BACK TO A BIT OF SUNSHINE AS THAT FRONT SORT OF FIZZLES OUT OVER US. SO MAKING FOR SOME DECENT AFTER NOONS FOR THE NEXT, WELL, 5, 6, 7 DAYS. 67 IS THE NORMAL HIGH. WE WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO THAT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AND INTO THE UPPER 70s FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AND GETTING INTO NEXT WEEK, WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR RAIN. OUR PATTERN FOR NEXT WEEK LOOKS

Good morning. I'm meteorologist, Brian Schrader in the WRL severe weather center, we saw some showers and a couple of rumbles of thunder south of the triangle overnight. We're going to see that moving out of here as we head through the morning hours, but we're gonna hang on to the clouds. We'll call it mostly cloudy today. We could see some peaks of sun though, late this afternoon in a few spots. Highs today in the mid seventies enjoy that warm weather because it is out of here for Sunday. Here's a look at the big picture, cold front, moved through the area. It's settled to our south and we're going to be tracking low pressure riding along that front that will generate some rain for tomorrow. Now, here's a look at Future Cast Day and you see as we put it into motion through the rest of the morning into the afternoon, we hang on to those clouds, maybe a few breaks in the clouds around four or five o'clock later this afternoon. But also note in our southern counties, this version of Futurecast has some showers popping up. So I want to keep that in mind South of the triangle. Late this afternoon into the evening, you could see some showers and then as we head overnight, Saturday into Sunday, we'll start to see rain developing. Here's futurecast for tomorrow and the afternoon light rain throughout the entire viewing area looks pretty wet all the way through the afternoon and into the evening, this particular version of Futurecast has the rain clearing out of here, late Sunday night and early Monday morning leaving us with clear skies for Monday. Here's a look at our seven day forecast tomorrow. The rain is going to be a big story but also the much cooler temperatures. You see that high there of 61 that's probably going to happen at midnight behind that cold. We're going to see those temperatures falling through the day afternoon, temperatures tomorrow likely will be in the low to mid 50. So definitely a different feel for tomorrow. And then with clearing and warmer weather Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we get a little closer to normal in terms of temperature as we head to the end of next week. We're watching a front. The question is, does the front stall near us or does it clear on through that will determine our shower chances? But overall, it looks like a pretty nice week.
