First Alert Forecast: bitter cold to follow additional shot of rain

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Wilmington Airport officially recorded a light glaze of twelve hundredths of an inch of freezing rain early Sunday. Your First Alert Forecast for Sunday night offers a few more tenths of an inch of plain rain – no ice – and possibly a rumble of thunder. Monday remains a First Alert Weather Day in advance of what’ll likely be a bitterly cold Monday night: brace your people and pets for temperatures and wind chills to bottom out near 20 and 10, respectively, by first thing Tuesday!

Here’s a twofer. 1) A 7p Sunday to 7a Monday model that shows a wave of rain and rumbles, but here locally at least, no ice… 2) A 7p Monday to 7a Tuesday model that quantifies some bitterly cold air. pic.twitter.com/Z8FYKU9ymJ
