Highs reach the lower 90s Saturday ahead of scattered storms. Cooler, less humid air arrives by Monday morning.

Storms causing delays in Charlotte, Raleigh as cold front moves in. We're back to the fall feel starting Sunday 

<p>Meteorologist Grant Skinner here in the weather center after scattered showers and storms this evening after a hot day Saturday with highs in the mid 90s, some showers and storms are possible overnight tonight, but a big change is in store for our Sunday. 30% rain chance through around 12 a.m. and 20% rain chance through much of the day on Sunday, but to the. and east, we'll have a chance for some more isolated showers and brief storms made to the south and east as that front continues to push its way through the area but highs, thanks to that cooler and drier air starting to work its way in, only reaching the mid 70s by the afternoon for Raleigh and in the low 70s, further north, 70 in Roxborough, 72 in South Hill. 82 Fayetteville, 82 in Clinton, so a big change from those hot temperatures that we saw Saturday. And that cool air is here to stay. Look at the temperature outlook for the next 6 to 10 days, below average for much of the East Coast. The hotter temperatures will stay to our north and west, so, uh, very comfortable feel throughout much of this week, more of a fall-like feel as we head through, uh, next weekend. Temperatures staying in the upper 70s through Wednesday, low 80s by Thursday and Friday. And back to the upper 70s by Saturday, so no big shifts in our temperature overall. We'll have a chance for some brief showers Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with a front stalled offshore. Some of those isolated showers could work their way inland, but for the most part, most places will stay dry, just some extra cloud cover by then. Overall, very comfortable feel to start the next week. Some lingering showers, maybe to the south and east on Sunday, but then highs only reach the mid 70s, and it'll stay cool to start the week.</p>
