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.

Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner, we're going up to some cloud cover and some cool temperatures this morning. It's a little bit breezy too. That's making it feel a little cooler than it really is. We take a look at futurecast and roll forward. We're going to see cloudy skies for a good bit of the day. Once we get past lunchtime, we may see a few holes in the clouds, a few breaks here and there, but we're not going to clear out and the clouds will linger into tomorrow. We have wind that's coming off of the North Atlantic right into North Carol. So that's bringing us some cool moist air that's creating this deck of clouds that we're seeing this morning. You can also see a few sprinkles that show up there on future cast. That's certainly a possibility, but we won't see any measurable rain. And if you do see a Sprinkle, it will really be just that no significant rain. It is a bit breezy. This morning, we have winds steady at about 5 to 10 MPH. It's making it feel cool. We may see some gusts up to 15 MPH today, but not a lot of real strong wind, just a bit damp and chilly this morning. 45 in Roxboro and South Hill. 51 in Fayetteville, 49 in Goldsboro. That's what it's going to feel like. If you're stepping out the door between now and say 9 a.m. featuring hast wind direction again, you can see that wind coming across the Atlantic into North Carolina again, that cool moist air off the ocean is helping to bring us that deck of clouds. It'll keep our temperatures cooler than yesterday. Yesterday. We hit upper seventies, 70 in Raleigh 68 in D mid seventies in Fayetteville. Lots of events happening this weekend. There's a special, special brigalow tasting this evening between six and 10. Temperatures will be in the sixties and it will be mostly cloudy so it'll be jacket weather for sure. The cooler than normal temperatures are only with us for a couple more days. Once we get to Sunday, watch the yellow and orange color contours taking over. That's where temperatures are above normal. And we see that almost all of next week. Our normal high is 70 five or 70 today, 74 Saturday. And then we're into the eighties and not too far from records. We're probably not going to set any records. Monday 87 and the record is 91 Tuesday 88 and the record is 90 Wednesday 89 but the record is 92. So we're probably going to miss it by a few degrees. But still, we're not far from it. It's also a dry period too. We've had a very dry April and that continues this week. Our only chance for any rain would be a 20% chance on Tuesday night.
