    3/2 North Carolina Weather 6 AM: 39° Above Normal
    Mar 2 2026
    Good morning. North Carolina. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, if you walked outside and thought someone swapped North Carolina for Seattle overnight. You're not wrong. That gray, damp chill hitting your face right now? Blame a backdoor cold front that snuck in while you slept. Cold air damming is pinning chilly northeast winds against the mountains. and just like that, we lost 39 degrees to 39 degrees from yesterday. In the next 24 hours. The Triangle is sitting at 39 degrees this morning. Highs only crawl to 50. Light rain develops after 10 A.M. and sticks around into tonight. Northeast gusts hit 24 miles an hour. That wind finds every zipper gap you've got. Slide south into the Piedmont. You're starting at 43 degrees with a high near 49. Spotty showers drift in late morning through mid afternoon. Tonight drops to 41 under stubborn clouds. Now the mountains get rain first. Showers roll in around 8 A.M. and taper off by midday. Highs top out at 48 degrees. Lows tonight hover near 40. Keep the umbrella close today. but here's where the plot twist lives. Tuesday that cold wedge starts cracking. Highs bounce back into the low 60s statewide. Then Wednesday. The whole pattern flips. Warm southwest air surges in. Mid 70s Wednesday and Thursday. By the weekend? Upper 70s pushing 81 degrees. That's nearly 39 degrees above normal for early March. Your winter coat goes in the closet. The trade off is showers building Thursday through the weekend. Sunday looks like the soggiest day. Spring equinox is 18 days out. This week's forecast got the memo early. Charge your phone, grab that rain jacket. and maybe brew a second cup. You earned it on a Monday like this. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    3/1 North Carolina Weather 6 PM: Clear Skies
    Mar 1 2026
    Good evening. North Carolina. I'm Aaron Jolly. Seventy five degrees today. Gorgeous. On that porch tonight. Because a backdoor cold front is sliding down from Virginia as we speak. and it's about to pull the rug out from under us. In the next 24 hours. This is classic Carolina. Cold air damming sets up overnight. You might know it as "the wedge." Cool, dense air gets trapped against the mountains while northeast winds crank up. The result? A thirty degree temperature crash by morning. Right now the Piedmont is basking at 75 degrees. Enjoy that sunset. Clouds move in tonight with northeast gusts hitting 22 miles an hour. By dawn you're waking up to 43 degrees. Monday? Raw. Highs only 47 with rain likely after 9 A.M. Over in the Triangle, same story with a twist. A few showers could brush through between 39 degrees and 39 degrees tonight. Then temperatures nosedive to 40 degrees. Monday stays gray with rain possible after 11 A.M. Highs barely scratch 44 degrees. That's the kind of day where your coffee never feels warm enough. Out west, the mountains sit at 70 degrees this afternoon. Tonight drops to 42. Monday brings the heaviest rain of anywhere in the state. Showers roll in by 7 A.M. and stick around through the afternoon. Highs top out at 46 degrees. Now the good news. The wedge hangs around Tuesday with cool highs in the upper 50s. but Wednesday. Everything flips. Highs surge back to 73 degrees. Thursday and Friday push into the upper 70s. and by Saturday we could flirt with 79 degrees. That's near record territory, folks. Spring equinox is still two and a half weeks away, but the warmth isn't waiting. Keep an umbrella in the car for Monday. You'll need it more than you think. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Mar 1 2026
    Good afternoon. North Carolina. I'm Aaron Jolly. Fifty eight degrees and sunshine right now. In early March. Folks, this isn't a drill. In the next 24 hours., A warm air mass is parked over us. and westerly winds are tumbling down off the Appalachians, wringing out extra heat as they go. That's why the Triangle is climbing to 73 degrees today. The Piedmont pushes to 74. Even the mountains hit 68 under blue skies. We're running 36 degrees above normal. February is gone and spring just walked in without knocking. But enjoy every minute of this afternoon. Because a sneaky cold front is sliding in from the northeast tonight. The Triangle catches a quick shower between 7 and 9 P.M. Nothing dramatic. Clouds thicken after that. By morning, temperatures crash into the upper 30s and low 40s statewide. Monday is the gut punch. Cold air damming locks in against the mountains. The Piedmont tops out at 46 degrees. The Triangle? Forty four. That's a 36 degrees drop from today. Western North Carolina reaches 48 under gray, drizzly skies. The mountains might flirt with freezing rain Monday night, though that threat is fading. Tuesday stays cool and overcast with lingering rain chances. Then Wednesday. The wedge breaks. Warm air comes flooding back. Seventies return by midweek. and by Friday and Saturday, we're knocking on 80 degrees. Near record territory. Showers creep back in Thursday through the weekend, but the warmth is the real story. So today? Open those windows. Take that walk. Grill something. This is the kind of March afternoon that reminds you why you live here. Charge your phone and check back tomorrow. Monday's forecast is going to feel like a different state. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
