Raleigh, NC – North Carolina residents can expect a mild start to the workweek Monday, November 2, but changing overnight conditions could bring patchy fog to parts of the state ahead of Tuesday morning's commute.
According to the National Weather Service NWS in Raleigh, cloudy skies will dominate Monday morning, with isolated sprinkles possible across northern portions of central North Carolina before skies gradually clear from west to east during the afternoon.
Temperatures Climb Into the 70s Monday Afternoon temperatures are expected to range from 64 to 74 degrees across the forecast area, providing relatively mild conditions for early November.
Communities across the Raleigh Durham region and surrounding central North Carolina counties should see improving skies as the day progresses.
The weather service expects mostly clear conditions Monday night, with overnight temperatures falling into the 40s and lower 50s.
Forecast lows range from 40 to 52 degrees.
Patchy Fog Could Affect Tuesday Morning Travel The primary concern develops late Monday night into early Tuesday, November 3, when patchy fog becomes possible across the eastern Piedmont and Coastal Plain.
Areas east of Raleigh, including portions of Johnston, Wilson and surrounding counties, could experience localized fog during the early morning hours.
Although widespread dense fog has not been forecast in the supplied outlook, motorists should remain alert for sudden changes in visibility, particularly along rural highways and low lying roadways.
Drivers encountering fog should reduce speed, increase following distance and use low beam headlights.
What Residents Should Expect Next The National Weather Service has not indicated a significant storm threat associated with Monday's forecast.
Instead, the main weather changes involve afternoon clearing followed by overnight cooling and localized fog development.
Residents traveling early Tuesday should check updated forecasts before leaving home, particularly across eastern sections of central North Carolina.
