Aside from some thin cirrus clouds drifting overhead, plenty of sunshine is expected today! Expect highs in the low-to-mid 70s this afternoon, followed by a cool evening with temperatures settling into the 40s and 50s. Cloudiness will increase overnight. #NCwx
A "lather-rinse-repeat" sort of day for the Sandhills.
FAY started at 39 degrees, warming to about 75 this afternoon. Increasing clouds will hold the region to about 50 degrees overnight.

El Niño snowfall patterns 1950-2026.
I anticipate a lot of “winter cancel” opinions after Christmas, but the party will just be getting started!
History says interior Northeast first, then the coast follows late season.
The Sandhill stretch of delightful -- if dry -- weather continues. FAY will look for a high of about 75 today with sunshine and a light north wind. Lows tonight will hold in the mid- to upper 40s.

Final day of the NC State Fair looks perfect! Sunshine and a high near 70 degrees.
It caps off a beautiful run of weather over the 11-day span, with the average high this year within a degree of the historical average and the total rain within a few hundredths of the same.

Closest cloud this morning? Kansas. 900 miles away.
Needless to say it's going to be a sunny day in North Carolina. 😂😎
This morning's low in FAY, 41 degrees, was the chilliest we've been in 6 months. April 21 also dropped to 41.
Also, the region recorded its first freeze of the season at 31 degrees.
Where?
Where else?
For the second straight day, FAY's high temp was 73 degrees. It likely will be a couple of degrees cooler tomorrow, say 70 or so.

Today's high temperatures were about as warm as we can expect to be over the next 7 days. With the evening update, we dropped the low temperature forecast for tonight by a degree or two.
The Sandhills woke up to the low 40s again as Canadian air continues to filter into the region. Look for plenty of sunshine and a high of about 73 in FAY.
Friday will be a touch cooler. We may not reach 70.
The weekend is shaping up as delightful, if dry. 72 high, mid-40s low.

🏜️ Dry conditions are here to stay for a while, which is tough news if your area is experiencing drought.
🌧️ So when is the next chance for meaningful rain?
Signs are pointing towards early November, but a lot can change between now and then. Stay tuned! #NCwx

🌡️ Expect another chilly night as temperatures fall into the mid-40s in the Coastal Plain and as low as the mid-30s in the Piedmont by Tuesday morning.
🥀 Patchy frost is possible, but mainly outside the urban areas in the Piedmont. #NCwx
