Heat will build in this weekend, with one day even flirting with a high temperature record! High pressure has arrived in central North Carolina, keeping our skies sunny and temperatures seasonal, but a stronger ridge of high pressure will continue to build in by Sunday.<\/p>

The stronger ridge of high pressure will stick around through early next week with highs climbing into the low 90s! Sunday\u2019s high of 91 will be just one degree off a record for the day (92 degrees set back in 1947). The highs will stay in the low 90s through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Other than the heat, this weekend will be a great one to get outside! While we desperately need more rain, the lack of rain will play along nicely with any outdoor plans both Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

There is rain in the forecast, however! After our taste of summer to start the week, a cold front arrives during the day on Thursday. This will bring a chance for rain as early as Wednesday, with the best chance on Thursday. <\/p>\n

The front will bring rain and also slightly cooler temperatures by Memorial Day Weekend. Next weekend right now is pleasant with highs in the middle 80s and a low chance for rain, but long-term forecast solutions are currently split on rain chances. <\/p>
