Raleigh starts Monday with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s, but the clouds will gradually thin as the day goes on. The afternoon should feel mild, with highs near 68 degrees and only a small chance of a sprinkle. Light northeast winds will keep things comfortable for commutes, errands and outdoor plans.
The National Weather Service Raleigh office expects mostly clear conditions Monday night, with overnight lows through Friday generally in the mid-50s to lower 60s. Patchy dense fog could develop late Monday night and early Tuesday, particularly across the eastern Piedmont and areas east of Raleigh.
Sunny, Unseasonably Warm Days Ahead
Tuesday will bring mostly sunny skies and a high near 76 degrees, followed by an even warmer Wednesday with temperatures approaching 80. Overnight lows through Friday are generally expected to be in the mid-50s to lower 60s. Another round of fog or low clouds could develop Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
The warm stretch continues Thursday, when Raleigh could again reach 80 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. A very small chance of showers is possible mainly Thursday, with light showers possible late Thursday and Friday.
Showers Fade Before A Brighter Weekend
Friday remains unsettled, with a 40% chance of rain showers and a high near 76 degrees. Conditions should improve by Saturday, which is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 74, while Sunday is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 67.
For now, Raleigh's forecast is more warm than wintry, with temperatures running well above early-November norms through Friday. The best bets for dry outdoor plans are Monday afternoon, Tuesday, Wednesday and the weekend, while Thursday and Friday carry the week's main shower chances.
