Frigid start to workweek
Temperatures 10-15° below average likely stick around through the entirety of the workweek.
The sleet and freezing rain have stopped falling, but winter isn’t done with us anytime soon. Frigid air and freezing fog have settled in this morning, as many locations around the WCCB Charlotte viewing area hang around 32°. Temperatures will struggle to clear the 20s and 30s across the board this afternoon, despite plentiful sunshine. The coldest air the Charlotte Metro has seen since Christmas 2022 arrives overnight into Tuesday – lows will dip into the teens and single digits for many as we wake up Tuesday morning. Many High Country communities may start the second day of the workweek below 0°.
Highs largely hang around 40° in the Queen City through the remainder of the workweek, as lows dip close to 20°. Rain – and snow – chances remain few and far between through Friday, but medium-range models suggest yet another coastal low could bring wintry precipitation back to the Carolinas this coming weekend. There’s a lot to hash out, but we’ll want to stay weather-wise as we head into February, which starts on Sunday.
