KEY MESSAGE 1... Will update soon.
KEY MESSAGE 2... Cooler than normal temperatures expected Tuesday and Wednesday across central NC, with highs running 1520 degrees below mid-March averages.
In the wake of Mondays cold front, cooler and drier air will filter into central North Carolina late Monday night into Tuesday. A broad upper-level trough settling over the eastern US will reinforce cold air advection through the day Tuesday, keeping temperatures below mid-March climatology.
High temperatures are expected to reach only the upper 40s to near 50 across the region Tuesday, which is roughly 15-20 degrees below normal for this time of year. Gusty west to northwest winds may also persist through much of the day Tuesday, with early morning wind chills in the 20s. Tuesday night lows will be in the mid to upper 20s with some cooler spots in the low 20s.
