A break from the clouds BUT WE NEED RAIN!
The next rain chance
EXCERPT: The possibility of a shower still exists for Thursday, but a real drought buster is not on the table!
SUBTITLE: We will still be looking into next week for better rain chances and some cooler temperatures.
The short term forecast will include clouds moving out for some PM sunshine tomorrow. This will help warm our high back into the upper 60’s on Thursday.
The weekend is looking wonderful. Highs will top out near 70° on Saturday in the Queen City as sunshine regains its foothold in the Carolinas. Cooler air arrives by Sunday behind the front that passes through on Friday. The start of next week will be interesting. Model guidance shows another wedge sets up by Monday as a rainmaking system develops in the northern Gulf. If it were January or February, we could be talking snow and ice as moisture arrives by Tuesday. For now, a chilly rain looks more likely for the Piedmont with marginal wintry precipitation possible for higher elevations.
Tonight: Clouds hang tough. Low: mid 40s Wind NE 5.

Thursday Night: Variable clouds. Stray shower? Low: 55°. Wind: NE 5-10.
