Big Warm Up Arrives this Weekend

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The WFMY Weather Team is tracking a big warm up heading our way over the next several days. Cooler weather has been hanging around for a while but it's quickly going away this week.

High pressure sliding off the coast will initiate our warming trend on Thursday

High pressure will remain largely in control of our weather which means we stay dry. The big change is going to be the near 20° temperature bump by the weekend.

Temperatures have been well below normal over the last several days but warmth is heading our way and getting ready to set up shop.

By the weekend temperatures will be quite a bit above normal, actually. The 80s may sound hot compared to our cooler weather lately but, 80s are actually closer to our normal of 76° right now rather than the 60s.

Over the weekend as temperatures climb it's quite possible some folks get close to, or even reach the 90° mark, though it would actually be pretty much right on time. Our first 90 degree day usually comes around May 18th, but it has been much earlier or later in years past.

Some places could get close to 90 this weekend, pretty much on schedule.

Check the air conditioning and make sure it's in good working order over the next 2 days. You'll need it this weekend.
