A Cool, possibly wet first weekend of summer

If it rains, don't forget your local climbing gym.

On Wednesday, we clued you in to what was going on throughout North Carolina on this upcoming weekend, the first official weekend of summer. Today, we provide a quick weather overview to further help in your weekend decision-making.

In short, the Triad appears to be the driest part of the state this weekend, with no rain in the forecast for Saturday and just a 30 percent chance on Sunday. Could bode well for a trip to Hanging Rock State Park or Pilot Mountain State Park. Elsewhere, temperatures appear to be seasonably cool, with highs in the Piedmont and coastal plains in the low to mid 80s, upper 70s in the high country. There’s a 20 percent to 50 percent chance of rain for much of the state this weekend.

To us, it looks like a good weekend for a hike near home, possibly a paddle not far from home as well. If it does rain, don’t forget your neighborhood climbing gym.

Enjoy the weekend!
