Continued Cold Tonight

Good evening, I’m Storm Team 9 Chief Meteorologist David Sawyer.  Cloudy and chilly conditions will take us into Tuesday night.  Evening temperatures will fall through the 40s with overnight lows dipping to the upper 30s inland to lower 40s at the coast.

A pesky upper level low pressure system swirling off of our coast will slowly move away from us on Wednesday.  As this system moves eastward and farther into the Atlantic Ocean, it will pull the clouds away from eastern NC as well.  Therefore, expect more sunshine on St. Patrick’s Day with milder temperatures on Wednesday topping out in the lower 60s inland and upper 50s at the coast.

Weather conditions will continue to improve for the rest of the week as well.  Although there will be a slight chance of showers at the coast on Thursday, spring-like temperatures will encourage you to be outside more often as we head toward the weekend with afternoon highs reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s.  Get ready to enjoy!
