Raleigh is starting Saturday, October 24, under clear skies and temperatures near 48 degrees, with sunshine expected to carry the city to about 69 this afternoon. Rain is not in the forecast, and a northeast breeze will keep the day feeling more like fall than the calendar’s recent warm spells. By evening, temperatures will slide into the 40s.
Sunny Afternoon, Noticeable Northeast Breeze
Temperatures should climb through the 50s during the morning and reach the upper 60s in the afternoon as clouds stay limited. Northeast winds are forecast at 6 to 12 mph, so outdoor plans look favorable, though shaded or exposed spots may feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. The National Weather Service expects no measurable rain Saturday.
Cool Nights Meet Mild Days Next Week
Saturday night will turn partly cloudy, with a low near 47. Sunday stays sunny with a high near 70 before another cool night around 43; Monday and Tuesday remain sunny with highs near 70 and 72.
The longer-range outlook keeps the dry streak going through Friday, October 30, with highs near 70 Wednesday, 71 Thursday and in the upper 60s to around 70 Friday. That is a small but useful update to Friday’s Hoodline forecast, which had Sunday closer to 70 and did not yet show the same level of late-week warmth.
No Weather Alerts In Effect
No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Raleigh area. For anyone heading out early, the practical plan is simple: a jacket for the morning, sunglasses for the afternoon and maybe an extra layer once the sun goes down.
