Record Cold Sunday

Temperatures dropped into the 20s across central North Carolina this Sunday morning, and that was cold enough to break the record low at the Raleigh-Durham Airport. The old record of 27 was set in 1995. This morning the low dropped to 25.

Here's a look at Sunday morning lows from around the region --
  • Southern Pines: 21
  • Burlington: 22
  • Chapel Hill: 24
  • Louisburg: 25
  • Smithfield: 25
  • Greensboro: 26
  • Lumberton: 26
  • Rocky Mount-Wilson: 27
  • Asheboro: 27
  • Erwin: 27
  • Lexington: 27
  • Mount Airy: 27
  • Fayetteville: 28
  • Goldsboro: 28
  • Winston-Salem: 29

Although Monday morning will be cold, it won't be quite as cold as the last couple of mornings. Lows are forecast to drop to the mid 30s around daybreak. Some outlying area may reach the low 30s.

Milder weather is ahead for the new week. Afternoon highs should reach the 70s by midweek.
