WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel said Friday that a mass of moisture south and east along the North Carolina coast near the southern South Carolina coast could mean wet weather for the Raleigh area.
“We certainly do need some rain and it looks like we’ll be getting some more and more over coming days, especially as we head into next week,” he said, adding that the biggest threat of precipitation will be during the overnight hours into Saturday.
But as that system moves north and east, it will usher in drier air for the Triangle although the risk of rain will be greatest late Saturday afternoon into the nighttime.
“The chance for thunderstorms and showers will be primarily confined to the late afternoon and nighttime hours,” Fishel said.
RAIN CHANCES: Hit-and-miss showers Friday with increasing rain chances on Saturday
TEMPS: High of 86 on Friday with low of 67| High of 90 on Saturday with low of 70
NEXT WEEK: Significant rain chances for first part of the week
