54 in goldsboro. smithfield 50. 52 in durham. the temperature trend over night, you see the blues take over. we'll get into the 30s over night. so i'm not going to forecast any freezing temperatures. but we'll drop down there. i have a low in the triangle around 37. you can see hourly here. we'll skip every three hours, 9:00, 43 degrees. 41 at 3:00 a.m. down to 38 at 6:00 a.m. we'll drop to around 37 degrees. 11 degrees warmer than it was this morning by tomorrow morning. 47 at 9:00. 61 at noon tomorrow. we're going to be well into the 60s. i have a high tomorrow of 66 degrees. it should occur around 3:00. when's the next weather maker? you can count the nice weather. but we're talking something that might disrupt you a little bit. that would be wednesday. maybe tuesday night there could be showers. but definitely into wednesday, it'll be mild ahead of this cold front coming through. the next weather maker is a cold front on wednesday, showers are likely.

instability, you might hear a rumble of thunder. a slight risk. but it exists. the high pressure system backs off. it moves away. we get the flow out of the southwest tomorrow. and we're sunny. a few late day clouds. partly cloudy tomorrow night. most of the day tomorrow will be sunny. and monday will be partly sunny. this little front here, little bits of precipitation along it. but they'll get squeezed out over the mountains. on tuesday now, this front will play over north carolina, so we get to the south, and it's chillier. if that front goes back to the north, it's a little warmer. i'm going to bring it into the low 60s after the upper 60s on monday. as we look at the forecast for tomorrow, after lows in the 30s over night. sanford and pinehurst in the sand hills will see a high of 67. fayetteville 69.

benson, goldsboro, and wilson, 68. smithfield, rocky mount, roanoke rapids, 67. in the triangle, 66. clayton 67. sighler city 66. 65 in henderson. 66 in roxboro. and 66 in south hill virginia. lewisburg, you'll see 66 too. let's look at that forecast starting with tomorrow again. there's your low of 37 degrees. lots of sunshine. now there will be a few clouds late in the day. and that's when you can be putting away the bucket. it's time to wash that car. let's not see dirty cars around tomorrow. you have a great weekend to get the salt off your car from last weekend. clear and chilly though. bright and dry at noon, 61. 62 degrees at 5:00 after the high of 66. monday, back to work or school, look at the low, 47. so not really a chill at the bus stop. 68 degrees.

originally it looked a little sunnier. now it's getting cloudier as we get close to it. possible shadows. mostly cloudy. mostly cloudy means a little sun can come out. it depends on what sir walter raleigh sees at noon. i think he might see a shadow. you know the old wives tale if he doesn't see a shadow, that's an early spring. as we look at the rest of the forecast, wednesday is the day to get wet. as a matter of fact, on wednesday, the low will be just 54. showers will be likely on the way to work or school. cold front comes through late in the day with showers. and then on thursday, 52 degrees. some early morning clouds, 52 degrees. definitely a chillier day. but dryer throughout the day in the 40s. and chillier weather friday and saturday. we'll be in the mid 40s. and over night lows, down to a little bit below freezing. 56 was the high today.
