Patchy clouds and not quite so cold tonight; lows will be mainly in the 40s.

Friday will be breezy and warm with more clouds and highs in the lower 70s before a new front brings scattered showers and storms at the start of the weekend.

FIRST ALERT: No rain at all in the forecast through Friday, but starting Friday night & especially early Saturday, rain and a few thunderstorms are likely as our next cold front approaches from the west. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/1v7VOJ7KeH

Saturday is a First Alert Weather Day, but by no means a washout. Much like last Saturday, most of the wet weather will come during the first half of the day. The sky will clear, and the afternoon will be warm and very windy! Wind gusts could top out near 40 mph Saturday afternoon as highs push 80 degrees. Sunday will be a little cooler with highs near 70 degrees under sunny skies.
