Saturday, April 18, Raleigh started the day cool and crisp, but the thermostat is not staying polite for long. Mostly sunny skies will send afternoon highs into the low 90s, topping out near 92°F. Morning temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s will give way to a hot, dry afternoon as dew points stay low and the air keeps that desert-lite feel.
Afternoon Heat And Low Humidity
The National Weather Service in Raleigh is calling for a high near 92°F today with a light southwest breeze around 0 to 8 mph. Afternoon humidity will tumble into the 20s, so the heat index should end up only a few degrees above the actual air temperature. It will be unseasonably warm but not swampy. If you are working or playing outside, shift the heavy stuff to early morning or later in the evening and keep water close for kids, pets and older adults.
