Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
Thanksgiving may be 20 days away, but mother nature is serving up spring like weather this weekend!
Some of us touched the 80-degree mark Friday afternoon and a lot more of us will get there this weekend.
A gusty southeast wind on Saturday will push temperatures into the mid to upper 70s on average under partly cloudy skies.
A system right off the North Carolina coast could spit out a few showers across eastern North Carolina, but overall we are giving it just a 10% chance for rain on Saturday.
Don't forget to set your clock back when you go to bed on Saturday night as we return to standard time.
The 10% chance for rain sticks around for Sunday, but we are expecting significantly more cloud cover. High temperatures on Sunday will also climb well into the 70s and some of us will likely make it into the 80s.
Our taste of spring continues as we head back to work on Monday. Expect partly cloudy skies and high temperatures in the low-to-mid 70s to kick off the work week.
But a cold front will bring us cooler, windier weather for election day on Tuesday. Expect partly cloudy skies, a gusty northeast wind of 20 to 30 mph in the afternoon, but just a small chance for rain as you head to the polls.
Rain chances, though, will be ramping up by late Wednesday as a storm system develops off the coast.
That storm system will bring us a chance for rain Thursday, Friday, and even into next Saturday.
