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

Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione here with our forecast as we head through the rest of this holiday weekend. Let's talk about where we go tonight. First of all, because beautiful start to the weekend, very fall like across the area. But we do get into some chilly temperatures once again, 47 there waking up Sunday morning in Raleigh 43 in Roxboro. If you're up in Adam early, let's say for church services, if you're getting brunch, something like that, you may want to have a jacket or a coat with you, but I don't think you're gonna need the heavy coat necessarily for at least the majority of us. Roxboro may be a little bit cold there at 43. Then we start talking about rain chances. So a couple of things here, we should see a lot of dry time for our Sunday, but then they start to ramp up a little bit closer to dinner time with off and on chances not everyone will see it but scattered showers, maybe a thunderstorm or two. Let's talk about that on future cast. Kind of help you plan. There's a look early on maybe a Sprinkle or two for our far northern counties. But the majority of us stay dry. I do think future cast is overestimating the cloud cover as well. So we should see some sunshine to start off with clouds will fill in as we go through the day. There's six o'clock, some rainfall on the radar. And then we go into Sunday night and Veterans Day morning, there's 2 a.m. specifically Veterans Day morning, early morning and we're looking at some shower activity on radar, but then watch what happens as we get into 7 a.m. Monday morning, we start to see that rain pushing out. So as it stands now, we will see a lot of dry time on Veterans Day. It will be the very first early part of the day where we see some rainfall activity at this point, upper sixties there for temperatures on Sunday, Veterans Day, I'm going about 40% at 10 a.m. and then a much better afternoon, if you need some totally dry weather, I do think at this point, the second half of the day is looking a lot better if that changes, we'll let you know, but we're going to manage to salvage our holiday on Monday, 69 for us on Sunday, 75 Monday, all the way down to 60 on Wednesday. A little bit cool. And then just another isolated shower chance on Thursday and Friday looking dry Saturday also looking dry at this point in the next weekend.

Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024 -- Donald Trump has won the presidency but I don't believe he will deliver on his promises. Like other self-interested autocrats, his remedies are designed to exploit problems instead of solving them. He's surrounded by oligarchs who want to loot the system instead of reforming it.
