Raleigh gets a calm, clear Sunday after a chilly start, with sunshine pushing temperatures toward 66 degrees by afternoon. Rain is not part of today's plan, and light west winds should keep outdoor errands, walks and Veterans Day preparations comfortable.

Clear Skies Settle In Sunday

Warm Stretch Builds Through Veterans Day
