Chilly Nights and a Warm Weekend Ahead in the Piedmont and Foothills

Hey there, beautiful folks of the Piedmont and Foothills! Ready or not, we’ve got a weekend filled with temperature swings coming our way. To kick things off, you might want to grab that cozy blanket tonight, because it’s going to be a chilly one!

Frost Advisories in Effect

Most of us are in for a frosty night, with lows dipping into the 20s and 30s across many counties. Saturday night will see Frost Advisories in place for areas in the Piedmont and Foothills, so make sure you take a moment to protect your plants and pets. If you’re in Mecklenburg, Union, Chester, Chesterfield, Lancaster, or York counties, you can breathe a sigh of relief, as you’re advisory-free—but it’s still a wise idea to bring your furry friends and delicate flowers indoors.

A Glorious Sunday Forecast

Now, don’t let the cold fool you—Sunday is shaping up to be quite the charmer! Expect pleasant weather with high temperatures soaring near 70°F in the Metro area by the afternoon. Winds will shift to the southwest, bringing in some warmth, so pack your picnic bags and get ready to enjoy some sunshine!

As we cozy up into Sunday night, the weather stays on the mild side with a low of 51°F. Those winds will be blowing softly from the southwest at about 5-15 mph, ensuring it remains comfortable as you wind down your weekend.

Monday’s Warmth and Breezy Conditions

Ah, Monday! As we kick off the workweek, expect warm sunshine and breezy conditions. Temperatures are anticipated to jump all the way to a delightful 85°F. Those winds from the southwest will ramp up significantly, gusting to over 25 mph at times—so hold on to those hats!

Watch Out for Changing Weather

Looking ahead, a moisture-starved cold front is set to move in from the northwest on Tuesday. While the mountains of NC may see some scattered showers, the eastern regions, including our Metro area, are likely to miss out on the rain altogether. But don’t get too comfy, as this front will usher in another round of cooler air. Expect highs around 70°F from Tuesday through Thursday, with nighttime lows dipping back into the mid-40s.

Things Heating Up Again

No need to fret for too long! By the end of the week, temperatures are expected to rebound nicely, with highs returning to the pleasant mid-80s just in time for the following weekend. Talk about a welcome comeback!
