Winter weather is in the forecast for the next couple of days, including some of the coldest temperatures in recent memory. Cold arctic air will swing south into the Carolinas late Monday, with record low temperatures possible overnight Monday and into Tuesday – around 8 degrees. It also will be windy, with gusts up to 30 miles per hour, and the wind chill could make it feel below zero early Tuesday.
Sunday morning actually hasn’t been as cold, with temperatures in the low 30s, compared to 19 on Saturday. But there was rain in Charlotte, and freezing rain to the north. Sunday’s high was expected to be around 45 and temperatures were expected to stay in the 40s overnight Sunday and into Monday. Snow is likely overnight tonight in Asheville and the mountains.
Monday will be sunny with a high of 42, then temperatures will start to fall Monday afternoon. Tuesday’s high will be in the low 20s. The air mass will shift back to normal by the end of the week, returning day time temperatures to the 50s.
