“We are definitely looking at warm temperatures out there for the weekend,” meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said.

Temperatures were in the low 50s throughout most of central North Carolina on Friday morning, with some places seeing the high 40s.

Saturday morning will see temperatures in the mid-50s before they warm up as a high-pressure system moves southeast.

The system has been to the north and west of North Carolina, and clockwise winds have been bringing cool air from the north.

That system will move over North Carolina during the weekend and stick around into next week. Winds will bring warmer air from the south.

Next week will see clear skies, with little chance of precipitation.
