(WGHP) — A slow-moving cold front will continue to douse North Carolina with showers and periods of heavy rain today.
Highs today will be in the upper 60s during the late morning hours. Temperatures will slowly and steadily decline through the day, reaching the lower 60s by dinnertime. Rainfall totals of between 1″ and 2″ of rain are possible today.
Showers taper off before midnight and skies rapidly clear out overnight. Lows will be much cooler, in the mid-40s, by daybreak.
Sharply cooler, drier weather is ahead for Tuesday and Wednesday, and we will face a chance of frost or freeze. During the day, enjoy sunny skies and highs in the mid-to-upper 50s, but Wednesday morning, lows are expected to dip to near freezing. Please plan to cover any new plants in your garden on Tuesday night.
Another cold front is going to march across the country and by Thursday, we’ll see showers back in the forecast. For now, it’s looking like rain will develop by afternoon on Thursday with highs returning to the upper 60s. The chance of rain is 40%. The front moves into the Carolinas on Friday, and with it, we will have showers and a few thunderstorms during the day. The chance of rain is 50% and highs will be in the mid-60s.
By this weekend, we will be drying out with partly cloudy skies. Highs are going to be mild, in the lower 60s on Saturday and mid-60s on Sunday.
