GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Mostly sunny skies are expected today as high pressure continues to build across the area. Northerly breezes may cause wind chill values to fall into the lower 20s at times, but overall radiational heating and persistent sunshine should allow for mild conditions to continue.

Winds will pick up around 10 to 15 mph sustained for inland communities while the coast sees wind speeds between 20 to 30 mph. We’ll stay cold just in time for the start of Martin Luther King Jr. Day before slowly warming into the 60s by early week.

A few showers are expected Tuesday as a dying cold front moves over the East. Temperatures don’t fall behind the front, they keep rising! Highs will hit the low 60s Tuesday, the upper 60s Wednesday, and the low 70s by Thursday. Another chance of rain looks possible on Thursday.

Sunday

Mainly sunny. High 48F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph.

Monday

Sunny, along with a few afternoon clouds. High around 53F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
