Wednesday’s forecast called for reduced visibility and drizzle. Forecast highs across the region range from the low 60s in the northwest to the low or possibly mid-70s in the southeast. Northeast winds of 10 to 14 mph, with gusts up to 24 mph, will keep the morning commute damp and blustery.
The forecast calls for periods of light rain or drizzle during Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service in Raleigh. New rainfall should remain under a tenth of an inch, and no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the area.
Light Rain And Gusty Winds Possible Thursday
Additional light rain is possible Thursday, with gusty winds likely Thursday afternoon. Thursday night drops to about 54 under partly cloudy skies.
Sunny Rebound Starts Friday
The forecast takes a welcome turn Friday, when sunny skies and a high near 72 arrive. Friday and Saturday look good for outdoor plans, with sunshine and highs near 72 and 77, respectively.
A Sharper Turn From Tuesday’s Storm Setup
The cooler, quieter outlook is a notable shift from Tuesday’s stormier setup, which brought heavier rain concerns before the temperature drop. Hoodline’s earlier Raleigh forecast tracked that unsettled pattern; the latest forecast points to light rain through Thursday, with improving conditions Friday and Saturday.
