Greensboro is waking up under cloudy skies Friday with temperatures around 66 degrees as showers and thunderstorms move through the Triad. Showers and thunderstorms should continue through late afternoon, bringing lightning, brief downpours and potentially slower roads before sunshine returns later.
Rain Arrives During The Morning Commute
The National Weather Service expects showers and embedded thunderstorms to continue through late afternoon Friday. Greensboro should reach near 70 degrees, while rainfall across central North Carolina generally ranges from a quarter-inch to around an inch, with heavier pockets possible farther along the U.S. 1 corridor.
For local drivers, the main concerns are wet pavement, reduced visibility and occasional gusty winds. The strongest severe-weather setup is expected farther east and south, but anyone who hears thunder should move indoors until storms pass.
Clear Skies Return In Time For The Weekend
Showers should taper by early evening Friday, followed by clear skies and a Friday-night low near 48. Saturday turns sunny but cooler, topping out near 63 degrees with northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph, while Saturday night could dip to about 39.
Sunday remains sunny and milder with a high near 64, followed by Monday near 69 and Tuesday near 71. Veterans Day should stay sunny with a high around 68, keeping the next several days dry and much friendlier for outdoor plans.
Forecast Update Raises Rainfall Stakes
The latest outlook is wetter than the quarter-to-half-inch forecast described Thursday in Hoodline's earlier report, with localized heavier totals now possible. No watches or warnings are posted in the current forecast, but a few stronger storms remain possible across parts of central North Carolina Friday.
