I'm meteorologist, Elizabeth G. Now we do have a level one risk for severe storms this afternoon starting at around five and moving out of the viewing area around eight. It will be a fairly narrow band of thunderstorms, but we will see some heavy rain and some blustery winds, possibly some wind damage with this. And it does cover the bulk of the viewing area for this afternoon. Check in futurecast this morning, we're waking up to cloudy skies. It may be that we see a few peaks of sunshine closer to lunchtime and then we see that band of rain moving on in. You can see at three o'clock, it starting to form up to our west at five o'clock. It's in our western counties from Roxboro to Durham to southern Pines. At around six o'clock. It's in the middle of the viewing area and by seven or eight it starts to push out. There might be an isolated shower in our southern counties after that, but it's really just going to be that one line that moves through. And then after that, we should be pretty much in the clear. We take a look at Saturday, Saturday Futurecast wants to start us off with a Sprinkle or two. But our chances for rain Saturday are really low. About 20%. We may see some sunshine breaking out during the afternoon, but Saturday should be a great day. Temperatures are going to be pleasant in the seventies and it does look dry on Sunday. We're looking at a chilly wet day and we'll go back to today and again, talk about that potential for rain mainly between five and 8 p.m. As that line moves through. We have gray skies this morning. Our temperatures are going to be climbing through the low and mid sixties for the next several hours up to around 70 by lunchtime around this afternoon. 83 in Raleigh, 82 in Durham and 86 in Fayetteville, a temperature whiplash that 83 today will turn into 59 on Sunday. So huge change, Sunday is going to be chilly gray and wet. We'll see an increasing chance for showers. So can we go from 83 to 59? And right in the middle, there is our normal at 74 we will see a cool Monday but then temperatures rebound into the seventies for Tuesday and Wednesday, we'll see variably cloudy skies. A little bit of sun peaking through Saturday with some cloud cover 78 and then 59 Sunday with an increasing chance of rain. I would expect it to be pretty wet during the afternoon. But again Saturday is looking just fine. The hurricanes play at five o'clock. If you're going to be tailgating in the parking lot ahead of that, temperatures will be in the mid seventies. So it should be pretty pleasant and it definitely looks dry again. Sunday's wet and chilly at 59. We have some chilly mornings ahead too. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday morning, all seeing overnight lows in the forties and it will be mild in the afternoon, especially say Wednesday. It looks lovely high of 77.
