Raleigh residents can look forward to a sunny day with a pleasant high of 67 degrees, a nice reprieve from the chill of the morning according to the latest update from the National Weather Service. The wind, coming in from the northeast at 7 to 11 mph and potentially gusting as high as 22 mph, promises to add a brisk freshness to the air while the barometer reading of 30.23 in (1023.
6 mb) suggests a steady atmospheric pressure. Tonight's forecast brings in a shift, with partly cloudy skies and a moderate temperature drop to around 45 degrees; the east wind will soften to a near whisper, calming completely as the midnight hour approaches, this gentle descent into nighttime reprieve belies the unpredictability of the weather that so often characterizes the transition from autumnal vibrancy to the brink of winter’s tinged solstice. The National Weather Service indicates a slight change in pattern for tomorrow, with a slight chance of rain in the afternoon turning into a 60% chance of showers after 1 am, while temperatures retain their mild composure.
Precipitation is minimal, but enough to warrant an umbrella, with expected amounts falling between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. Looking to Veterans Day, the forecast calls for a 50% chance of showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder in the midafternoon, though the sun will make a partial appearance bringing the day’s high to an almost balmy 75 degrees, which is a stark contrast to the recent cool mornings and the smell of autumnal decay that is swept into the gusts that rattle barren branches, beckoning to the overture of winter's frost-kissed breath. In the nights following, Raleigh's weather will calm with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms early Monday evening before giving way to clearer skies; as the week progresses, residents can anticipate sunny days with highs varying from the mid-60s to low 70s, and night-time lows dipping into the mid to high 40s.
