Raleigh is starting the week with clear skies, cool temperatures and a steady north breeze. Just before sunrise Monday, temperatures were in the low 40s around Raleigh-Durham International Airport, setting up a crisp opening to an otherwise mild October day.
Monday will turn sunny quickly, with temperatures climbing to around 69 degrees. North winds near 12 mph could gust up to 20 mph, so the afternoon may feel breezier than the thermometer suggests. Tonight will be clear and cooler, with a low near 47.

The sunny pattern continues Tuesday, when Raleigh could reach 74 degrees under clear skies and north winds around 12 mph. Wednesday should be a little cooler near 70, followed by highs around 71 Thursday and 70 Friday.
Overnight temperatures will generally settle in the 40s, with lows near 50 Tuesday night and around 45 Wednesday night. The weekend stays pleasant, with sunny skies, a high near 68 Saturday and a warmer 72 Sunday.
