Saturday will be dry and cool - the afternoon will top out at about 68 degrees - with a few clouds.

Finally fall: Sunny, cool Saturday perfect for outdoor plans

I meteorologist Chris Michaels in the Wral severe weather center. Nice fall day for some college football NC State playing host to Duke. So, uh pretty cool. Uh, a game going on here this afternoon, temperatures will be in the sixties for that 3:30 p.m. kickoff by 7 p.m. As we're getting out of Carter Finley, temperatures will be in the mid FF cooling off. Heading into the overnight will start out partly cloudy. Roxboro 42 Fayetteville 50 Raleigh 47 and South Hill at about 43. So we'll need the light jacket first thing Sunday morning though, clouds increasing as we head throughout the day on Sunday. There you see Sunday 1 p.m. there might be a stray shower during the afternoon and heading into the evening that's coming in ahead of a front that you see out toward the west. So as we go through tomorrow evening, tomorrow, the overnight, you'll see some scattered showers continuing to move through future casts, then showing the regeneration reformation of more showers on Veterans Day along that front and it looks like those would move through from west to east through about the middle of the day. Monday before things will turn a little bit drier for us. In terms of rain totals throughout the next seven days, not much, about 1/10 of an inch to a quarter of an inch. And we certainly could use some rain in the 45 days before Helene. We had seen about, uh, 14 inches since then. We've seen about two inches and really throughout the past 30 days or so, it's been much less than that. Another cold front comes through as we head into the later part of next week. Slim rain chance with that Thursday. But the bigger deal is going to be some of the gustier wind and the cooler air that comes in on the back side of it. That'll be as we head into next Friday. So we're not going to be breaking any temperature records over the next few days and today and tomorrow pretty typical temperature wise in the upper sixties, increasing clouds, tomorrow, increasing rain chance heading into Sunday night and into first thing, Veterans Day, Tuesday 70 with more sun and you see sixties for highs, forties for lows from Wednesday through Friday.
