GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) – The “luck of the Irish” brings a mix of sun, rain and clouds to Eastern North Carolina over the next few days.

If you find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you best be holding onto it with both hands otherwise it’ll blow away as wind gusts in Kinston, N.C. were reported on Friday as high as 39-mph from the SW, but gusts will go back down to calm over the next 24-hours.

Rain is expected to move through the area Friday evening continuing through the overnight and into Saturday morning, but come Saturday afternoon we’ll be in the clear just seeing cloud coverage then more sunshine on Sunday.
