Raleigh, N.C. — Sunny skies on Thursday won't keep the week from ending on a chilly, wet note Friday around central and eastern North Carolina.

Breezes will kick up around the Triangle Thursday as the high hits around 66 degrees. By midnight, a cold front will arrive, and the rain will begin. 

"Starting tomorrow, the rain rolls in, and it's going to make our morning commute a bit messy," WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said.

The rain will continue through Friday morning, then taper off throughout the afternoon. Between a half-inch to an inch of precipitation could fall.

Temperatures will stay cool, reaching a high in the upper 50s.

Clouds and rain will clear out for Saturday.

"The chill stays in the air Saturday, with a high of only 55 degrees," Gardner said.

A slight warm-up will begin Sunday, with the mercury rising into the low to mid 60s. By Tuesday, the high could hit 70 degrees.

"They've been dried up, wral just likes to sugar coat it and won't talk about drought and its devastational impact until after everyone else does. "

Aren't you the guy that says WRAL sensationalizes every small story? If so, why wouldn't they be sensationalizing the drought? Could it be that is cause there is no drought in central NC? A couple of the western countys have a moderate drought.
