Bundle up, Raleigh residents, as the National Weather Service has your area in the sights of some seriously chilly weather, with temperatures taking a nosedive Friday night into tomorrow morning, and don’t expect any respite from the cold as forecast lows range between 20 to 25 degrees across central North Carolina.
The National Weather Service Raleigh NC report makes it clear that today’s sunshine won’t do much to elevate the picture, as highs hover near 46 degrees with that pesky northwest wind gusting up to 23 mph, so while it may be bright, the warmth will be deceptive and you’ll need that extra layer if stepping out.
Looking ahead into tonight and tomorrow, those calm winds might offer some solace from the day’s bluster, but don’t let that fool you, since temperatures are slated to remain low, a mostly clear sky at night means those numbers will plunge making for a near-freezing sleep if your heater isn’t up to the task…
