Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglion here with our forecast as we head into the upcoming week. Rain chances on our Monday have gone up a little bit. We're gonna talk about that, but I do think tomorrow morning you're gonna want the umbrella handy just in case. Springlike weather though, by the time we get to Wednesday, I mean, we're gonna see highs in the mid-sixties, way different compared to what we've been used to. And then beyond the rain tomorrow and overall pretty calm pattern. We have highs in the 60s again on Wednesday, we see just no major rain chances in the forecast beyond tomorrow. Here's a look at Futurecast and this in and of itself doesn't look like a huge chance, but we get through tonight, we see some of that moisture down to our south into South Carolina. Most of this starts to push in, especially from the triangle to the south as early as about 5 to 6 a.m. I don't think our northern counties are going to see much from this, but scattered off and on rain through the Monday morning commute starts to thin out by the time we get closer to lunchtime or early afternoon. It's not an all day long event, but I do think we could still see some lingering moisture through the afternoon. Lots of cloud cover for us to get us started on the work week. 31 there tonight in Roxborough, 35 in Raleigh, 34 in Fayetteville. We head through the day itself. It'll still be a little bit chilly with that rain coming down, 52 during the afternoon. Some spots may struggle to get out of the 40s. But look at where we go. 60 on Tuesday, going to be a beautiful day, a slight chance of another shower or two on Wednesday, but 65. That is gonna be our big weather story in addition to the rain tomorrow, those warmer temperatures by the middle part of the week. Looking ahead to next weekend, maybe a little bit unsettled by Friday and Saturday, but again, I don't see that as a big major system at this point. We hang on to these temperatures being above normal for at least the next 7 days.
