First Alert Weather Days for rainy start to the holiday weekend

Temperatures will briefly cool down today, but warmer conditions can be expected for most of the week ahead.

We will kick off our Saturday mostly sunny and dry but late in the day scattered showers and thunderstorms will move in from north to south. Highs tomorrow will range from the lower 70s in the mountains to the upper 80s and lower 90s across the Piedmont.

Partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies this afternoon with high temps into the mid-80s. Winds will be breezy with a gust or two 10-15 mph.

This will mainly be during the late afternoon/evening hours.

This weekend will stay warm, although rain and storm chances stick around.

Warmer temperatures are returning with some isolated rain chances on Friday
