A powerful Arctic blast is sweeping through the region, bringing with it hazardous weather conditions and a prolonged period of cold temperatures.
The Arctic blast has arrived in our region, bringing with it a cold spell that will last through early Tuesday morning and potentially into Wednesday. The coldest air of the season so far is expected this week, with single-digit lows in the mountains and teens across the Piedmont.
Protecting Against the Cold
It’s essential to take precautions during this period to protect people, pets, pipes, and plants from the dangers of sub-freezing temperatures. Breezy conditions early Wednesday will make it feel even colder, so be sure to bundle up and stay safe.
Weather Outlook for Our Area
While the chance of snow is low in our area on Tuesday, there is a possibility of flurries elsewhere. However, with any moisture and temps below freezing, we’ll need to watch for slick areas on roads developing Tuesday evening and through Wednesday morning. The rest of the week looks mostly dry, with temperatures moderating late this week and returning to mid-50s by Sunday.
