Its gonna be one of those nights where if you dont have to do that extra bit of traveling is counted because i think sometime tonight the reason be very heavy i want you to be prepared as we take a look at the temperature trends today upper fifties very mild but as we get into Late Afternoon and evening will look for the rain move in and at times and especially across northeast North Carolina the rain could be heavier right now the radar is sweeping clear so as youre out the door youre in great shape skies had been partly cloudy that actually becoming mainly clear right now so well take it down to the south and southwest this is where we have our system this is going to track to about this rain coming now we knew it. Its been in the forecast pretty much all we can at times earlier in the week it looks like it was going to linger a little bit in the saturday morning. Now one positive thing is it looks like it will keep moving through and quickly exit so i expect saturday to be very nice for most of the area with upper fifties and partly sunny skies. You see the rain though lets deal with this this afternoon into the evening initially down to the south North Carolina and out to the west or Central Virginia western virginia theyll see the rain earlier for our area Hampton Roads the abc thirteen viewing area. I think well see scattered showers kind off and on during the early evening steady or heavier rain down over eastern North Carolina and the rain comes through not in general maybe a half an inch to an inch or so of rain potentially across the area but over eastern North Carolina those amounts could be heavier snow will continue to watch at it looser ooh and pulls out and then tomorrow skies become for our saturday question is what happens sunday as we get another push of even colder air coming in. I really allowed site sunday there could be a little bit of mixed precipitation maybe some snow showers across northern and central parts of virginia but even here in Hampton Roads a few rain showers or a little bit of light mix precipitation very briefly coming through sunday not out of the question im leaving at about thirty percent the chances of that is something we will keep you updated on as we get closer to sunday so i invite you to stay tuned for updates today at noon and then not again chapel had updated tonight i should tomorrow morning and evan over the week right now little bit of you know some time to read about some breaks along the horizon thirty seven in windsor South Southwest at ten mph the high today to reach about fifty nine with increasing clouds rain developing late. Occasional rain tonight could be heavy at times the low around forty six so we are just talking about rain tonight and fifty seven tomorrow with partly normal but falling on sunday a shower or a little bit of light makes possible sunday especially when its cooler for Martin Luther king day and tuesday stay chilly temperatures back in the mid forties by thursday i dash to turn your attention to Virginia Beach been working there whats going on.
