Published 8:11 am Monday, March 2, 2015

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re under a dense fog advisory until 10 a.m., then we’ll have some clouds and might see some sun later in the day, with a high near 50.

Tonight we have a 20 percent chance of rain around 11 a.m., then drizzle, with a low around 35.

Tuesday we’ll be back in the cold rain, with a 50 percent chance of precipitation and patchy fog before 7 a.m. The high will be only 36 degrees, with wind from the northeast shifting to the south southeast later in the day. Tuesday night also has a 50 percent chance of rain and a low the same as the high, 36.

Guess what’s coming Wednesday? A 50 percent chance of rain, mainly before noon, with a high near 68. Wind will blow from the south southwest around 10 mph. Wednesday night, the chance of rain goes up to 70 percent, with a low of 42.

And Thursday’s going to really blow your mind. Rain is likely, 70 percent, before 5 p.m., with a high of 45. Then we have a chance of snow showers. Thursday night, we can expect more snow, with a low around 23.

But Friday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 41 and a low around 25.

Saturday could be sunny and 53, with a low of 34, and Sunday might be sunny with a high near 56.

All, of this, of course, is subject to change. It illustrates perfectly why people say of North Carolina, “Don’t like the weather? Wait five minutes, it’ll change.”
