After a cool and dry Wednesday, we're going to have a chilly and wet day on Thursday, prompting a WRAL Weather Alert Day.



WRAL Weather Alert Day: Showers in store for Thursday morning commute ahead of chilly, wet afternoon

Good morning. I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. It is a WRL weather alert day. We've been talking about the rain that we're expecting today along with the chilly temperatures, we're going to see those showers rolling in around the middle of the morning, commute and then that rain is going to be with us pretty much all day. There could be a few isolated thunderstorms this evening. But other than that, we're just looking at a steady rain today and it will be chilly too high temperatures. Only the fifties we're looking at forties this morning. So I almost going to just hold it where we are right now. The winds are coming out of the north and that's what's keeping us really chilly. Taking a look at satellite and radar. You can see that cold front that starts to push closer to the mountains a little later on this morning. We'll zoom in here over our viewing area between seven and eight o'clock this morning. We're seeing some scattered showers rolling through and then it just continues, maybe picking up an intensity a little bit between noon and six o'clock. And you could see that line of red shaded colors. And so that's where the front comes through and we could end up with a little better chance of a few rumbles of thunder. It looks like it ends there at around 10 or 11. But we're going to see some wraparound moisture tomorrow morning. You can see that starting up around three or 4 a.m. And at 530 we're seeing some rain from the triangle area north and east, but it's out of here by eight o'clock. So another quick shower early tomorrow, cloudy skies for us. This morning, temperatures are in the mid forties and again, only climbing up into the low to mid f for highs later this afternoon. Some thirties on the map then spots this morning up near the Virginia line, but we're not expecting anything frozen out of this. 54 in Raleigh, 52 Durham, 58 in Fayetteville and some cool mornings too, but we're not near freezing. No frost in our forecast. Our normal low is 40 we'll get down to 39 on Sunday morning. We do have some nice weather in our forecasts. Once we get past today, our normal high is 64. We're back to the mid sixties on Saturday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. And into next week, our temperatures continue to warm on up into the seventies.
