Sunday starts with a frost advisory. Then, showers slowly move in during the evening.

Next weather maker to bring rain Sunday night; autumn breezes to follow

<p>Meteorologist Grant Skinner here at the Weather Center, a beautiful Saturday across central North Carolina. This is the view from Durham. Jake Hoffman sent this in, some of those beautiful fall colors, and we'll continue to see more of those over the next couple of weeks, so you can send your photos into WREL.com/reported. We'd love to see all of your fall color photos and any other weather photos or video that you have. Overnight tonight it'll be chilly, temperatures dropping to the mid to upper 30s to around 40 degrees. Spots could drop to the low to mid-30s in our northern spots, as a frost advisory in place for the entire area from 10 a.m. to 8 a.m. So watch for some areas of patchy frost into our Sunday morning. Also, daylight saving time ends tonight, so make sure to set those clocks back before you go to sleep. 5:18 p.m. for that sunset as we head into your Sunday, so it'll definitely feel darker earlier. Our next weather maker, it comes late Sunday into Monday, an area of low pressure continues to develop and work its way north along the coastline, and with that, we'll see a better chance for scattered showers, uh, for Central North Carolina, and points east towards the coastline. Those highest rainfall totals likely in our eastern spots. So, here's Futurecast starting at midnight tonight. You can see all the way through Sunday morning, mid and upper level clouds start to work their way into the area, but rain chances stay really limited all the way through lunchtime. It's not till after lunch, closer to the early evening, where we see some isolated showers start to work their way in from the south, then a better chance for rain late in the day Sunday, closer to 9, 10 o'clock, it really starts to pick up, and that will continue all the way through Monday morning, mainly early though. Our latest forecast models bring this rain out of the area closer to 67 a.m. so it shouldn't have a huge impact on your commute, but stay tuned to updates. Of course, Chris Michaels have another update into your Sunday morning to let you know how it's changed in the recent forecast models, but again, it starts to dry out into around mid-morning on Monday. So an 80% rain chance late Sunday into early Monday, then the rain moves out, it should be drier for the remainder. Of the week, and forecast rainfall totals closer to around a quarter of an inch to maybe 0.5 inch in some of our eastern spots. So, not a significant amount of rain, but still some some more rain is coming into late Sunday into early Monday. Again, we fall back tonight, make sure to set those clocks back 1 hour. Temperatures still comfortable on a Sunday though, in the mid 60s, a little bit cooler Monday in the low to mid-60s, and warming to around 70, with dry conditions through much of the week.</p>
