Showers and a cool down… We will see mostly cloudy skies today with scattered showers. Expect more widespread rain in North Carolina and more widely scattered showers in VA. Parts of NC could see ½” or more of rain, while Hampton Roads will see ¼” or less. Temperatures linger in the mid 50s through midday, then fall into the upper 40s this afternoon.

Warmer air returns to end the week. Highs will climb to near 60 on Friday and to near 70 on Saturday. Clouds will return for Friday with a few isolated showers. Rain chances will increase this weekend.
