Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Quiet and milder weather for much of the region on this St. Patrick's Day. Highs should warm into the low to mid 60s, generally speaking, around the region. Temps will be closer to 60 around Charlotte and closer to the mid 60s around RDU. The reason....clouds. The clouds will get thinner and thinner the farther northeast you go in the region.

An area of low pressure, this morning located along the Gulf coast, will move to just off the Carolina coast tonight into tomorrow. This will spread lots of high clouds into the Piedmont and spread some rain through southern Georgia, Florida, and into coastal parts of the Carolinas, south of the Outer Banks.

For the Piedmont, we stay dry with highs tomorrow warming into the upper 60s to near 70.

Friday and Saturday look glorious with sunshine and highs in the low to mid 70s.

A sharp cold front will approach Sunday and bring the chance of some showers and storms. Behind that front, it will be much chillier by Monday with highs returning to the 50s and the likelihood of sub-freezing temps for much of the region by Tuesday morning.
