Spring in North Carolina loves to keep us guessing, and this week is no exception! Sunday night will bring rain and gusty winds, but if you can get through that, you’re in for a beautiful stretch of warm, sunny days ahead.
Here’s what’s coming and when you should plan for the best weather this week.
Sunday Night: A Rainy, Windy Mess
If you have outdoor plans Sunday evening, you might want to rethink them. A system moving in will bring off-and-on showers and some gusty winds, making for a damp and breezy night.
Sunday, March 9
High: 54°F (12°C)
Low: 46°F (8°C)
Showers will move in during the evening and stick around overnight.
Winds could gust up to 25-30 mph, especially along the coast.
What This Means for You:
Bring an umbrella AND a raincoat. The wind might make an umbrella useless, though!
Driving could be tricky. Wet roads and gusty winds could make travel a little less enjoyable, so take it easy.
Secure loose outdoor items. If you have patio furniture, plants, or decorations outside, bring them in or tie them down!
