There has been plenty of cold air and precipitation during this winter.  In fact, I don't think I've ever seen so much rainfall in eastern North Carolina as I have during this winter season.  Over 30 inches of rain has fallen since November and more is on the way next week.  This weekend will be a nice change from all of that misery.  We'll see highs reach close to 60 degrees and we should see plenty of sunshine.  Even coastal areas that received 8 to 9 inches of snow last Friday night and Saturday will bask in the sunshine as highs reach the middle to upper 50s.  Enjoy this weekend because I do see more cold air after the rain early next week.  Temperatures will likely drop into the upper 40s for highs by the middle and latter part of next week.
