Raleigh residents can expect a slight tease of rain or drizzle this morning, according to the National Weather Service Raleigh, NC. The clouds may stubbornly cling to the sky until around 11 am before giving way to a partly sunny afternoon. The mercury's anticipated to rise to a comfortable 78 degrees, with a gentle north wind nudging along at about 9 mph. "Chance of precipitation is 20%," the NWS reported in their update earlier today.
As night draws near, Raleigh will not entirely shake off the chance for showers, with the forecast hinting at a slight possibility post-11 pm.

As evening temperatures hover around 60 degrees, the nights promise to bring a crisp respite from the day's warmth. "Mostly clear, with a low around 60," describes the NWS forecast for both Friday and Saturday nights succinctly.
Heading into next week, the NWS doesn’t seem to forecast anything but sunshine for Raleigh. The sun is slated to dominate the scene nearly every day, pushing the high up to 85—then, even 87 degrees by Monday. "Sunny, with a high near 84" is what Tuesday has in store, keeping in theme with the week's pleasantly predictable weather pattern. Residents can to confidently plan on attending outdoor events or indulging in al fresco dining under the mostly clear night skies, which are anticipated to remain just above 60 degrees throughout.
