This week's weather will take Triangle residents on a roller-coaster ride of temperatures, from a cool 58 on Tuesday to a sunny 75 on Wednesday and back down to 65 Thursday. 

<b>RALEIGH, N.C.</b> — This week's weather will take Triangle residents on a roller-coaster ride of temperatures, from a cool 58 on Tuesday to a sunny 75 on Wednesday and back down to 65 Thursday.

Tuesday will be mainly cloudy and not as cool as Monday, but drizzle is possible in the evening hours with lows in the upper 40s.

Wednesday will be even warmer with "a pretty nice afternoon" in the mid 70s, according to WRAL meteorologist Nate Johnson.

That pretty nice weather will fade away as a cold front comes sweeping through Wednesday night into Thursday morning, bringing a band of clouds.

While Thursday will be cooler with highs in the mid 60s, the good news is the clouds will disappear, giving way to more sunshine. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be sunny and pleasant with highs in the 70s.

"It should be a pretty nice weekend, especially if you're heading out to the <a href="https://www.wral.com/entertainment/statefair/">State Fair</a>," Johnson said.

<p>Everyone. Meteorologist Peter, she would in the severe weather center, I am tracking a cold front that is out west and ahead of it, we are going to continue to get rounds of rain to move in for this weekend while our computer models are having a hard time pinpointing where exactly we're going to see those showers set up and when waves are going to move in, I am watching this batch of rain that is to the south near Georgia and Florida that is going to move in, especially as we head into the afternoon. So plan for those showers later on today to really take over. It's going to be fairly light in nature and we are going to watch for some pockets of dry time even as we head into the evening overnight, we're going to see another round of rain move through and gradual clearing will be possible as we head throughout the morning on Sunday. Those lingering showers will gradually move out will turn mostly clear overnight. We do have cooler air that will dive in from the north. Look at that dip in the jet stream moving into our region. Cold air will settle in, especially as we head into the middle and end of the week. Look at the temperatures that we're going to be waking up to. As we head into Thursday morning, we're going to go from 61 on Sunday morning down to 32 degrees by Thursday morning. If you do have plans to head outdoors today, just remember it could be a little tricky out there with some of those on and off periods of rain holiday, decorating could be a little rough. We will make it to 69 degrees. I went ahead and bumped up our temperature considering that we are already very warm. This morning, temperatures will be slow to warm in the upper sixties. And if you're heading to Woolies winter wonderland, do you plan for some of those showers out there to be fairly light in nature picking up as we head into tonight? So the earlier you get out there, the better with the rain chances increasing overnight, our temperatures are going to be warmer tomorrow. It's also going to be breezy at times heading to 71 degrees cooler as we had throughout this week and Thursday morning waking up to 32 degrees with a high of 51. It's going to feel a lot different out there as we headed throughout the week as well.</p>
