Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
***A Frost Advisory is in effect Tuesday Morning for inland Southside and inland North Carolina. Frost could kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered.
We are now three weeks into spring, and we are still talking about frost!
Yes, some of us could wake up to more frost on the windshield on Tuesday morning. We do have a frost advisory in effect for mainly our inland locations of Hampton Roads, and eastern North Carolina.
Most of us can expect morning low temperatures in the mid-to-upper 30s. But after that, it is up up and away!
We will enjoy plenty of sunshine through Friday morning with high temperatures climbing into the upper 70s and the lower 80s.
But wouldn’t you know it? Just in time for the weekend our rain chances go up.
The interesting thing here is where the moisture for that rain could come from. There is a chance we could see a tropical depression form in the gulf of Mexico this week.
The hurricane season does not begin until June 1, so that would be unusually early.
Whether a tropical system forms or not, we are expecting rain to move in this weekend, guided by a cold front.
So some soggy weather is looking likely on Saturday and possible on Sunday and a little of that wet weather could linger into early on Monday. Stay tuned.
