Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Bag Leone here on the Wral Severe Weather Center. I hope you've had a great weekend. We head back into this upcoming week with some things to talk about here as far as the weather is concerned. Here's what we're kind of watching over the next seven days on the whole very calm. We have sunshine fall like temperatures where we start to see some changes though, is into Friday and Saturday, we have a cold front that's going to come through. It's really gonna bring minimal rain. Chances what the big thing you will notice here next weekend morning, temperatures are going to be back in the forties. So some of the chilliest air that we've seen here this fall season will be into next weekend. Otherwise tonight, though, 52 in Roxborough, we're at 57 in Raleigh. 56 in Fayetteville. Very comfortable. Shouldn't have any issues out the door tomorrow morning, upper seventies, low eighties here in the next five days, our normal 78 we really don't see any big fluctuations from that through this week, but there is that cold front. I'll start us off here on Friday morning. So we have a couple of days here if you are looking forward to some fall temperatures, but notice all of that blue, that's of course, the cooler temperatures up to Iowa, Minnesota that is really going to start to dive farther south. Here we go through the Ohio Valley and into North Carolina. There's Sunday at seven o'clock in the morning again, morning, temperatures in the forties, afternoons in the sixties. So it will be a change compared to what we have seen the past couple of days. Other than that, really not a whole lot to talk about here. Thankfully, it's pretty quiet at home. We do have the tropics where we have tropical storm Felipe 50 mile per hour winds. This is the latest advisory on this one and it's going to continue to move up to the north, potentially becoming a category one hurricane. Our only chance of some showers right now comes in with that front Friday night into Saturday. It looks pretty minimal at this point. We may have to kind of shift that as we get closer and a better handle on what that front is going to do. I don't see that as a big moisture rainmaker at this point. We're at 83 tomorrow, low eighties here through the entire week morning, temperatures still in the fifties and sixties. But look at that in the next weekend, Sunday morning at 49 then Monday morning will be at 46. So definitely some chillier air compared to again where we've been at 68 at afternoon temperature on Sunday. So a big pattern shake up here with that front, both Saturday and Sunday of next weekend.
