Blustery Conditions

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert-Freeze Watch Tonight/Fri AM: Some of the coldest air of the season, so far, will move into Central NC tonight. A Freeze Watch has been issued for Central NC, with temps dropping into the upper 20s to mid 30s. Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

Good morning! It's much colder this morning, with out-the-door ranging from the low 30s to low 40s behind the front. Highs will be in the mid to upper 50s, which is around 10-15 degrees cooler than yesterday. It'll be blustery at times with gusts as high as 25mph.

Big Cool Down: A reinforcing, mostly dry cold front will move across central NC this evening. This will lead to lows in the upper 20s and low 30s tonight. Highs will be in the low 50s Friday with wind chills in the 40s. High pressure will build across the region through the weekend. Highs Saturday will be near 60 and low to mid 60s Sunday. There is a risk for frost Sunday morning.

Next Week: The warm up will continue into next week before perhaps our next storm towards Thanksgiving Day.

Tropics: No tropical development is expected in the Atlantic basin within the next 5 to 7 days.

Have a great day!
