NORTH CAROLINA — A chilly start is giving way to a much more pleasant Sunday across the state, as temperatures rebound quickly under mostly sunny skies following an early morning dip into the 30s and 40s.
After a cold start, conditions are expected to steadily improve through the day, bringing a calm and comfortable afternoon for most communities across North Carolina.
Cold Start Across Mountains and Piedmont
Early morning temperatures have been notably cool, especially across western and northern parts of the state.
Some of the coldest readings were observed in:
- Boone, Banner Elk, and Sparta: mid 50s or cooler early, with colder overnight lows
- Asheville and surrounding mountain areas: upper 50s to low 60s by late morning
- Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Mount Airy: low 60s
The chilly start reflects the passage of a recent cold front, which has brought in a cooler and drier air mass.
