Sunny breaks possible at times along with lower shower chances

• Spotty shower chances through the end of the week
• Breaks of sunshine Wednesday afternoon
• Back to seasonable temperatures later this week

NEXT FEW DAYS

The low pressure continues to hover near the North Carolina coast allowing the opportunity for intervals of clouds along with light showers at times. Each day the shower chances will be fewer than the day before, Many hometowns may not see much rain at all due to the spotty coverage.

At night, a few light showers are possible, but most remain dry. Patchy fog will be common for areas that see the rain during the day. Lows will be in the 50s.

Weak high pressure will build in Wednesday into Thursday, but the coastal low could still swing a few showers our way. Most areas will be dry through the rest of the workweek. Wednesday will feature highs in the 70s under partly sunny skies. Expect a mix of sun and clouds on Thursday with highs in the 70s and lower 80s. Friday will feature highs in the 80s with partly sunny skies and limited shower chances.

WARMER WEEKEND

Low-end rain chances return for Saturday and Sunday thanks to another system crossing through. Looks like some places could get by dry all weekend long as precipitation will be considered spotty! Right now Saturday’s rain/storm chance would develop later in the day and may linger into Sunday. Highs for our weekend will warm into the 70s and 80s.
