Raleigh is waking up Tuesday to mostly clear skies and temperatures around 50 degrees, but the day will quickly turn warm and sunny. Patchy fog could briefly reduce visibility before 9 a.m., followed by a high near 77 with no rain expected.
Fog First, Sunshine After
Tuesday should be mostly sunny across Raleigh. Tuesday night should stay mostly clear, with temperatures dipping to around 51 degrees.
Wednesday Stays Unseasonably Warm
Wednesday will bring another round of early patchy fog before mostly sunny skies take over, with a high near 80. Thursday remains warm at around 81 degrees, though increasing clouds and a 20% chance of showers could signal the wetter pattern ahead.
Putting This Week’s Weather in Context
The forecast describes several warm days followed by showers, but it does not give Raleigh’s annual temperature or precipitation averages for a direct comparison. The National Weather Service Raleigh says 30-year climate normals describe expected seasonal conditions and provide a reference for judging whether weather is warmer or colder, wetter or drier than usual.
Friday Brings The Week's Wettest Weather
Showers are likely Friday as a cold front crosses the region, with a 70% chance of precipitation and a high near 78; the threat of thunder is low because instability is limited. Friday night could bring a 30% chance of showers before 1 a.m., with a low near 56.
Saturday should turn mostly sunny after a slight chance of morning showers, with a high near 74. Sunday looks mostly sunny and cooler at around 70.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Raleigh as of Tuesday morning, according to National Weather Service. The best outdoor window is likely Tuesday through Wednesday afternoon, before the forecast turns noticeably wetter late Thursday and Friday.
