One more frost threat tonight as our warming trend kicks into gear. We’ll be near or in the 70s for inland areas on Friday. 70s probably won’t show up on the coast until Saturday or Sunday. A few quick showers are possible Friday night as our next rain chance moves through. A shower or two could still be on the coast Saturday morning, but will quickly clear the area. 80s look to linger on Monday as our next cold front keeps slowing down.

Temperatures fall fast overnight with a frost and freeze possible by sunrise. A small 5-10 mph north breeze may keep the frost away for some, but many are expected to drop below freezing. A hard freeze is possible for inland areas as temperatures reach the 20s. More frost and a lighter freeze are possible Thursday morning with the frost threat much patchier Friday morning. The weekend is looking great with 70s on Saturday and a chance at 80s on Sunday.

Damaging winds; Isolated tornadoes possible Tracking severe storm risk The Storm Prediction Center has all of ENC in an enhanced (level 3), to a moderate (level 4) risk of severe weather. All of Eastern NC is in a level 3 to level 4 risk The higher threat and best chance of severe weather will come from midday through sunset Monday.
