Tuesday morning starts with our first fall freeze. However, 60s and 70s pop back in on the 7-day forecast.

A breezy start Wednesday morning before fall temps bounce back

<p>Hello everyone, I'm meteorologist Mike Mays in the WRL Severe Weather Center with our forecast update for this Tuesday night. We had a cold day today. The high was 47 at RDU 48 in Fayetteville. We had a lot of sunshine. We have dry weather this evening, no return of the snow. Uh, we have high pressure that's building in. It'll be cold tonight, but with some cloud cover moving in and a southwest wind, it'll be hard to really get as cold as we were last night. 32 at Roxborough tonight, 32 at Siler City, uh, low 30s for many other locations should be just hovering right above freezing, and here in Raleigh out at RDU we'll probably have about 34 for the low. Now, it will be breezy to start the day with the wind, and it being 34, wind chills could be in the upper 20s, so make sure the kids are dressed properly. But the interesting thing is we'll need the heavy coats in the morning. Later in the afternoon it'll be in the 60s, so they'll probably shed their coats. So you might want to dress them in layers so they can take the jacket off and still be comfortable later on during the day. Temperatures on the rise tomorrow. By lunchtime we expect about 58. 62 is the forecast high, and then tomorrow. At 8 o'clock we're down to about 51, so really in the evening it's not all that cold. So let's talk about how temperatures rebound in the coming days. The upper level trough begins to shift out. We're still in the northwest flow aloft, so it's a dry flow for us. We see no rain over the next several days. 62 tomorrow, 63 on Thursday, 67 for Friday. Now more of the upper level ridge starts to build in for the weekend. Could it be another gorgeous weekend on tap? 71 is what we're forecasting for Saturday. 76 on Sunday. And if you think back about how it was this past Sunday, we had a high of 77. We have 76 this Sunday, so it's pretty much going to feel the same. Now, if you're thinking we're going to get back to that chill, we're not. Here's the 6 to 10 day temperature outlook, which effectively takes us Through next week and it looks like above normal temperatures will be likely. It's a greater than 40 to 50% chance of above normal temperatures. The deep cold will be out west. Phoenix, LA likely to have below normal temperatures as an upper level low comes in off the Pacific, brings plenty of rain to that area, and we have a little greater opportunity for some rain. I don't think it's going to happen at the beginning of the week. It'll probably happen at the end of the week, the way I see it right now. So our forecast overnight, not as cold, 32 at Roxborough, 31 and Brawley, 34 at Fayetteville. Mostly clear to partly cloudy skies, and then for tomorrow, beautiful day, breezy and milder. Highs in the low to mid-60s, and it continues to warm up as we get into the latter part of the week and into the weekend. That's our forecast deputy for this Tuesday night. Have a wonderful night. I'll see you tomorrow.</p>
