A meteorologist, Elizabeth Gardner, I'm tracking a front that is going to bring us some scattered light rain today. This is not going to be a big beefy line of thunderstorms by any means, no thunder and the rain will be pretty light as it moves on through. Starting to see some of that in our northern counties this morning, we'll follow futurecast and push it ahead to lunchtime and you can see it's a slow mover, but there's not going to be a whole lot of rain with it from Roanoke Rapids down through Durham at around lunchtime as we head into say, two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Rocky Mount May a little bit in Raleigh and down towards Southern Pines and then closer to the evening commute, Fayetteville, Clinton, Goldsboro, parts of Harnett and Johnston counties. But it looks like for the most part, um, our most heavily traveled roads in, uh, in the triangle should be dry by the evening commute. That front continues to move on through and it clears this out with sunshine for the rest of the work week. Lake Gaston looking cloudy right now with the clouds there and, uh, the rain starting to push in. Temperatures have been in the mid fifties this morning, we'll climb on up into the upper six is closer to lunchtime and then, uh, we'll continue to see those nice mild temperatures this afternoon. 74 in Raleigh and Durham, 81 potentially for the high in Fayetteville. Later today, the Durham Bulls continue their home stand. It looks like the rains out of there. Well, before their 630 start time, 71 degrees at six o'clock, 630 Thursday and Friday. Lots of sunshine and pleasant temperatures continue near 70. I mean, it just doesn't really get much better than that. And weekend events look great, especially Saturday. This is bral, a big event in downtown Raleigh. Temperatures will be in the mid seventies during the afternoon, under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. So looking good. Definitely a mild week up until Saturday. Our normal high is 75 and we're close to that, but 81 on Sunday, that's going to be the beginning of a different weather pattern. 81 on Sunday does not get us to a record. The record is 90. But by Tuesday when we hit 89 we'll only be a degree from the record. So we are aiming toward record highs by the end of the seven day forecast, which is right now on Tuesday and it looks dry too today, really our best chance of rain and it will be light less than 1/10 of an inch.
