WEEKEND STORM: We're expecting a coastal low to form near NC over the weekend. This could bring a good thump at the beach—rain, wind, and coastal erosion—especially for the OBX. How much, if any, rain we see here in the Piedmont will depend on the storm's track. Stay tuned. | WXII 12 Weather

Low pressure will slowly pull away from the Carolina coast early this week. As it does, expect clearing skies and more sunshine today and tomorrow. We get a little warmer too, with highs in the 70s. | WXII 12 Weather
