everyone else in the 50s. then, looking fartherrer south we see all 50s showing up here. it is going to be a warm day tomorrow. good deal of wind and we are going to have showers and thunderstorms moving in from the west. and some of those could be strong to severe. let's take a look at the computer model forecast of the mid-level moisture and the freezing lines. remember, looking at that, the storm, 1 1/2 weeks ago to try to determine what type of precipitation we were going to have. the freezing lines were way, way out here in missouri and illinois. not in the area where the moisture is concentrated. not a short term concern here. the moisture does increase from the west heading through tomorrow. the wind will be whipping out of the west and and southwest. the atmosphere will be unstable enough to get a chance of showers and thunderstorms, again, keeping an eye on that and check in with elizabeth and see if the storm prediction center has nus that marginal risk area.

it will still in be the 50s on thursday morning. the area of moisture does not want to go anywhere. so, we will be cooler with falling temperatures on thursday. perhaps into the 40s late in the day. but notice the freezing lines are still to the west of the moisture areas. nothing to worry about there, then, as we head on into friday. just about the time the freezing lines get here the moisture goes bye-bye. so, basically we are cool and dry on friday. now, sunday, this is an interesting thing to think about. nothing to be upset about at this time. developing system off of the coast. noticed it initially. one of the freezing lines is way north of us. what the model is trying to do is actually lift the area enough so it generates a little island of coolness in here. that raises the possibility that if we get the development of the system it could be sort of a rain/wet/snow mix during the day on sunday. that would be an sprefting conclusion of the weekend. right now it does not look like anything to get competed about.

skies, maybe drizzle in the area towards morning. lows around 50 and then tomorrow becoming windy and warm. high temperatures, lower to middle 70s. especially south and east of raleigh. also a good chance of showers and storms. cooler with rain 54. nice and bright. cool, saturday looks fine. then, sunday, there is a chance could see rain or maybe even a little bit of wet snow. we are 56 if we see that.
