PIEDMONT TRIAD, N.C. (WGHP) — Cloudy skies this evening with temperatures remaining in the 40s into the overnight hours. We’ll see isolated showers during the very early morning hours Sunday with isolated to scattered showers remaining into the afternoon.
Sunday’s showers are associated with our next cold front which will be bringing in brutally cold temperatures for the start of the week. That arctic air starts to arrive by Sunday afternoon and evening which means temperatures will be colder by the evening Sunday than they were in the morning. As colder air filters in behind the Arctic front, rain may briefly changeover to light snow Sunday afternoon and evening. Little to no accumulation is expected.
Once we’re below freezing Sunday evening, we’ll remain there likely until Thursday afternoon. The coldest afternoon temperatures we’ve seen since 2022 arrive for the first half of the week which also brings the longest stretch of below-freezing temperatures since 2018, with nearly 92 hours below freezing.
We’ll start Monday morning around 17 degrees and afternoon highs reach the upper 20s with sunny skies. Breezy conditions will make it feel like the single digits Monday morning with afternoon highs feeling more like the low 20s.
Increasing clouds on Tuesday with morning temperatures around 12 degrees and highs around 29 degrees. We’re watching the potential for snow Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. However, right now, the chance is fairly low with better snow chances in eastern NC, along the coast. The further east in the Triad you live, the slightly better your odds are for snow Tuesday night. Keep checking in with the FOX8 weather team over the next few days as we fine-tune the forecast and release snow totals.
Wednesday morning temperatures will be around 12 degrees again with highs around 27 degrees. Skies will be mostly sunny.
We’ll slowly start to thaw out into the weekend. Temperatures remain in the low 10s Thursday morning but try and reach above freezing in the afternoon with highs in the mid-30s. By Friday, morning temperatures will be in the low 20s and highs reach the upper 30s. Saturday morning starts off in the low 20s again but afternoon highs reach the mid-40s.
