Much of NC is under a freeze warning for Mother’s Day. When will it warm up?
Most of North Carolina, from the mountains to the Triangle, is under a freeze warning as temperatures are expected to drop overnight into Mother’s Day morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service in Raleigh said central North Carolina could see temperatures drop into the low to mid-30s overnight and into Sunday morning.
Freeze warnings begin at midnight from Western North Carolina and as far east as Rocky Mount. A frost advisory covers much of the southern border and eastern parts of the state, including Charlotte, Fayetteville and east to Greenville and the coast.
This could be the coldest Mother’s Day on record for central North Carolina, according to the National Weather Service. It’s forecast to be 34 degrees in Raleigh Sunday morning.
“Strong high pressure will maintain below-normal temperatures across the region for the weekend and the cold Canadian airmass may cause early morning frost and freeze conditions,” National Weather Service forecasters said.
“A reinforcing dry cold front will keep temperatures below-normal to begin the work week, but temperatures will warm quickly the remainder of next week as strong and dry high pressure develops over the Atlantic,” forecasters said.
North Carolina should get back to spring by mid-week, forecasters said. “The region rapidly transitions from early April temperature normals to early June normals from Wednesday to Saturday,” according to the National Weather Service.
