WATCH: Mostly Dry thru Weekend. Warming up Sunday (2024)

2005. AND WE HAVE STARTED OFF THE DAY REALLY NICE TODAY, DAVE. I MEAN, WE’VE HAD SOME PICTURE PERFECT WEATHER OUT THERE SO FAR. PLENTY OF SUN OUT THERE. LINDSAY, A GOOD TIME TO GET OUT AND ENJOY IF YOU CAN SNEAK AWAY FROM THE WORKPLACE FOR A LITTLE BIT AND YOU KNOW IF YOU CAN’T DO IT ANYWAY, WE WON’T TELL ON YOU. WE GOT SOME SUNSHINE OUT THERE OVER HIGH POINT. LOOKING GOOD. FEELING GOOD TO TEMPERATURES NOT HOT AND NO HUMIDITY OF COURSE NO SHOWERS OUT THERE. OUT TO THE WEST OVER WEST JEFFERSON AND BOONE. IT’S IN THE MID 50S TO AROUND 60 THERE RIGHT NOW. MID 60S ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS. AT THIS HOUR AND ALSO ALONG THE PIEDMONT TRIAD, BUT STARTING TO APPROACH 70 IN BURLINGTON RIGHT NOW. AND DOWN OVER SOUTHERN PARTS OF DAVIDSON COUNTY AND JUST SOUTH OF THAT, ALREADY GETTING TO AROUND 70. WINDS ARE FAIRLY LIGHT AT THIS HOUR OUT OF THE EAST, THE NORTHEAST MORNING LOWS EARLIER THIS MORNING CHILLIER IN SOME SPOTS WHERE IT’S TYPICALLY A LITTLE BIT COLDER. 38 MARTINSVILLE EARLIER ON TODAY, 52 IN GREENSBORO IS WHERE WE STARTED. AND 50 IN WINSTON-SALEM AND BURLINGTON AND SOME MID 40S DOWN TO THE SOUTH OF THE TRIAD. 2ND APRIL RAINFALL SO FAR ABOUT AN INCH AND A QUARTER FOR THE MONTH SO FAR. WE’RE BELOW NORMAL ABOUT 1.8IN, AND OUR AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IS ABOUT A LITTLE OVER THREE INCHES. OUR RAINFALL TO DATE FOR THE YEAR A LITTLE OVER 15IN, AND WE’RE ABOVE NORMAL BY ABOUT TWO INCHES FOR THE YEAR. SO FAR, SO AS WE GO ON INTO THE WEEKEND, TODAY’S GRAY RAIN CHANCES A LOW RISK TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. MORE SO INTO THE EVENING HOURS FOR THE PIEDMONT TRIAD AND THEN INTO NEXT WEEK WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAIN. TEMPERATURES COOLER ON SATURDAY, BUT WARMING SUNDAY AND INTO NEXT WEEK WHERE WE’LL SEE SOME 80S THE FIRST PART MAYBE INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK TO TODAY LOOKS GREAT. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, LOW 70S IN THE PIEDMONT. MIGHT SEE SOME CLOUDS START TO COME AROUND AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW MORNING. SAME THING IN THE FOOTHILLS AROUND 0 AND TEMPERATURES AROUND 50 TO START TOMORROW MORNING WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND INTO THE MID 40S TO START OFF IN THE MOUNTAINS TOMORROW. MAYBE A SHOWER, BUT I THINK THOSE MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL LATER IN THE MORNING. ABOUT MID MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON. COLD FRONT NOW DOWN TO OUR SOUTH. THERE’S A LITTLE SYSTEM BACK OUT TO OUR WEST WE’RE WATCHING. MAY GET SOME MOISTURE FROM THIS. YOU SEE THE CLOUDS WITH IT, BUT PRETTY DRY AIR ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE NATION RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS NICE, AT LEAST FOR THE EASTERN, UH, COASTAL STATES RIGHT NOW. MOSTLY CLOUDY TOMORROW MORNING. STARTING OFF, AS I MENTIONED, AROUND 50 FOR THE FOOTHILLS OF THE PIEDMONT AND MID 40S AND SOME EXTRA CLOUDS IN THE PIEDMONT. MAYBE A PASSING SHOWER. THIS IS TOMORROW AFTERNOON, ABOUT 4 OR 5:00. ONE MODEL SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SOME SHOWERS BACK UP OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND THE MOUNTAINS. AND THEN FOR FRIDAY EVENING WE MIGHT SEE A FEW SHOWERS AROUND BEFORE WE START TO SEE THAT RAIN CLEAR ON OUT OF THE AREA VERY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. I MEAN, LIKE IN THE US WHEN IT’S STILL DARK OUT IN THE EARLY PART OF THE HOURS AND THEN AS WE GET INTO THE DAY SATURDAY, TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER, PROBABLY HOLDING INTO THE 60S. MERLEFEST FORECAST LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. THERE MIGHT BE A SPOTTY SHOWER FRIDAY OR SATURDAY. FRIDAY IS KIND OF A COOL DAY. COOLER THAN WHAT WE’VE EXPERIENCED, BUT THEN WE’LL REALLY START TO WARM UP AS WE GET INTO THE DAY. SUNDAY, WE’LL BE INTO THE UPPER 70S IN THE FOOTHILLS, THEN. SO THERE’S OUR ONE TEMPERATURE THAT’S BELOW NORMAL 67 ON FRIDAY WITH THAT CHANCE OF A SHOWER, MAINLY LATE IN THE DAY IN THE PIEDMONT. BUT BOY, WE REALLY WARM UP FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND NEAR 80. AND THEN SOME LOW TO MID 80S MONDAY THROU
