The record high for the day in Raleigh is 92 degrees, set back in 1947. We’re forecasting 91 degrees. So we’ll come very close to the record. 

Lower 90s stick around through Wednesday before a cold front Thursday into Friday brings changes. 

Rain chances finally return with the slow-moving front. Highs will drop from the 90s to the middle 80s on Thursday with middle 70s on Friday. As much as 0.50 inches of rain could fall across the area, with heavier amounts above 1 inch closer to the coast. 

We’ll dry out and return to the lower 80s into Memorial Day weekend. Scattered showers look to return on Memorial Day Monday. But it’ll remain closer to average with temperatures in the lower 80s.
