Partly cloudy, breezy and milder. Highs in the lower-mid 60s. It'll be a lovely start to December and a pleasant evening for WRAL's 63rd Annual Tower Lighting. Watch from the comfort of your home at 7pm on WRAL, as we turn our 300-foot TV tower into North Carolina’s tallest lighted tree! We’ll also light the towers at our sister properties at American Tobacco Campus in Durham and Rocky Mount Mills in Rocky Mount. Temperatures during our Tower lighting will be in the lower 50s so not too chilly!

Mostly cloudy skies and not too cold with some sprinkles possible. Lows in the lower-mid 40s.
