After a cold start with morning lows in the 20s and 30s, sunshine all day will allow afternoon temperatures to top out in the mid and upper 50s across central North Carolina Monday. That is still a bit cooler than normal. Average highs are in the low 60s during the second half of November.

High temperatures should be closer to average Tuesday and Wednesday when temperatures will top out in the low and mid 60s around the region.

Most of this week should be dry in central North Carolina, but a weak low pressure system moving up the coast could bring a few light showers to the area late Tuesday night.

Thanksgiving Day will likely be the coolest day of the week. We should see a mix of sun and clouds for Thursday with a high only around 50.
