VIDEO FORECAST

WEATHER DISCUSSION: High pressure will dominate the Cape Fear overnight with mostly clear skies expected and optimal radiational cooling and lows dropping into the mid to upper teens inland… with lower to mid 20s along the coast. Any melted water from today will refreeze tonight so use extra caution if travelling overnight into early Tuesday morning. We will wake up to sunshine Tuesday but the clouds will increase later in the day with highs reaching the upper 40s to near 50 bringing some pretty good ice/snow melt to the area. Our next weather maker approaches Wednesday bringing cloudy skies with showers likely and highs climb into the lower 50s ahead of a cold front. If the cold air behind the front gets in fast enough there’s a chance for a wintry mix with temperatures late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning with temps falling into the lower 30s. Rainfall totals could reach as much as 3/4 of an inch. Behind this system… clearing skies later Thursday with colder highs in the lower 40s. Friday with be sunny and rather cold with wakeup temps in the lower to mid 20s and afternoon highs nearing 50. After 3 straight weekends of the threat of ice and snow… this coming weekend looks good! Sunshine and clouds Saturday and Sunday with highs in the upper 40s and low 50s and lows from 25 to 30.

***COLD WEATHER ADVISORY for inland Pender county until 8 am Tuesday morning. Wind chills could drop to as low as 10 late tonight into very early Tuesday morning. If precautions are not taken this could result in hypothermia or frostbite.***
