Charlie’s First Alert Forecast: Cloud cover lingers as weekend approaches

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - The cloud cover has been stubborn this week, but with the weekend right around the corner, sunshine should start to become a more common sight. The rain drops have been few and far between, but the steady flow of air off the Atlantic is keeping the chance (ever so slight) in the forecast for the start of the weekend. Highs will reach the mid 80s Saturday before cooling to the mid 70s thanks to a dry front moving in late Saturday night, which is also going to be the time we’ll most likely see showers.

The front will help pull the cloud cover away, leaving us with mostly sunny skies to close the weekend. Highs will be noticeably cooler, dropping to the mid 70s on Sunday with overnight lows dipping into the mid 50s. This overnight cooling will help reduce the humidity for all, leading to a very comfortable Monday. A few storms will ride another weak front Tuesday night into Wednesday, and then we return to clear and comfortable weather for the remainder of the upcoming work week. Highs will hover around the 80° mark with overnight lows sitting near 60°.
