Those waking up early on Thanksgiving to start cooking may have noticed a rainy start to the day. However, the rain should dissipate in time to eat outdoors for dinner.
YOU KNOW, LET THEM SCURRY ON OUT OF HERE. GET AWAY. GOBBLE GOBBLE. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT THE RAIN TO DO AND WE WILL. I THINK A GOOD WINDOW BETWEEN EARLY AFTERNOON AND ABOUT THE TIME WE GET TO SUNSET THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A DRY PERIOD ACROSS THE VIEWING AREA TO GET OUT AND EAT THE TURKEYS THAT DIDN'T GET PARDONED. WE HAVE THIS BAND THAT'S STARTED TO DEVELOP BACK HERE AND I WOULD NOT EXPECT ANY SEVERE STORMS. IT WOULDN'T BE MUCH BUT WE'VE SEEN THAT DOWN TO THE SOUTH. IT'S POSSIBLE AND YOU CAN SEE NOW SOME OF THE RAIN MOVING ON ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-85 CORRIDOR. WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BAND OF RAIN TOO ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR BUT REALLY THE MAIN EVENT FOR US THAT'S NOW MOVING THROUGH GREENSBORO. ROXBORO YOU ARE SEEING THAT. DURHAM AND HEPPEDDERSON AND ON UP INTO MECKLENBURG COUNTY, VIRGINIA. CHAPEL HILL, IT'S WET THERE. WE HAVE SEEN RAIN EVER NIGHT. WE HAVE WET CONDITIONS AND CLOUDY SKIES OUT THERE. HERE'S THE FRONT AND EARLIER A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES AROUND ATLANTA AND WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF THOSE HERE. BUT AGAIN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WE COULD SEE THAT. ONCE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH GRADUALLY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN TOMORROW AND IT'S A DECENT DAY. BUT THAT'S FUTURECAST. PAUSE IT HERE AT 9:00 AND YOU CAN SEE A PRETTY THIN BAND OF RAIN. LOOKS MORE ROBUST RIGHT NOW. IT COULD BE MORE WIDESPREAD. NOTICE IT'S HEAVIER AT LUNCHTIME FROM SAY GOLDSBORO DOWN THROUGH FAYETTEVILLE AND TOWARD THE SOUTH CAROLINA LINE. BUT BY LUNCHTIME, BY NOON, REALLY FROM THE TRIANGLE AREA NORTH AND WEST, WE SHOULD BE FINISHED WITH THE RAIN. OUR WINDOW WILL BEGIN AND THAT RAIN MOVES OUT OF OUR SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES PRETTY RAPIDLY. AT 5:00 YOU CAN SEE SKIES HAVE CLEARED IN SOME PLACES BUT A BOUNDARY THAT DEVELOPS RIGHT AROUND THE TRIANGLE AREA STRETCHING NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST. SHOWING A FEW MORE ISOLATED SHOWERS DEVELOPING AROUND SUNSET AND CONTINUING FOR A FEW HOURS. BUT I THINK YOU KNOW, THE REAL THING IS PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW CAN WE GET OUTSIDE AND GATHER IN THE AFTERNOON? AND THE ANSWER RIGHT NOW LOOKS LIKE YES. A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN IN THE MORNING ON FRIDAY SOUTH AND EAST BUT THEN WE'LL SEE SOME GRADUAL CLEARING AND IF YOU ARE GETTING OUT FRIDAY, MAYBE TO GET A CHRISTMAS TREE OR PUT UP HOLIDAY DECORATION, IN THE AFTERNOON IT SHOULD BE NICE AND BRIGHT. BUT THIS IS OUR NEXT SYSTEM. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL. WE SHOULD HAVE NICE CLEAR CONDITIONS AND FAIRLY MILD TEMPERATURES. BUT THIS FRONT MOVES ON IN. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT WEATHER MAKER AND IT MAY BRING US SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT RAIN ON MONDAY AND THEN BEHIND IT WE TURN COOLER. BUT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ALL LOOKING GOOD. DRY FOR THE MOST PART. AFTER MONDAY'S RAIN, OUR TEMPERATURES WILL DROP AND MAY STAY PRETTY CHILLY FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND AND WE LIGHT ALL THE TOWERS ON TUESDAY
