North Carolina Forecast: Monday brings the coldest afternoon, chance for flurries overnight❄️
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chris Michaels forecasts a cold Monday with high temperatures between 40-46°F, the coldest seen since January. Expect some afternoon sunshine, followed by cloud coverage and possible flurries overnight in western and southern counties, although no significant accumulation is expected. The region will experience hard freezes with Tuesday morning temperatures between 21-26°F and Wednesday morning between 19-23°F. Residents should protect pets, plants, and exposed piping. While below-average temperatures are anticipated, the Arctic pattern may start relenting by mid-month. Highs will reach 51°F on Wednesday, with warmer temperatures in the upper 50s by Thursday.
It’s going to be a cold week with heavy coats needed most mornings. Lows are in the 20s most days with highs only in the low-to-mid 40s early in the week. Monday will be the coldest afternoon since Jan. 21, with a high of 43 degrees and sunny skies. Another round of Arctic air arrives early in the week, making Monday and Tuesday our coldest days this week. Highs will range between 40 and 45, and it will be breezy at times. Wind chills Tuesday morning may only be in the teens.
In addition to the chill, a weak disturbance thousands of feet above us may be just enough to produce some flurries in our western counties overnight Monday into very early Tuesday morning. It’s nothing to get overly excited about just yet. Since we’ll see several hard freezes this week, remember to keep the three p’s in mind. It’s a good idea to disconnect the garden hose too!
Since we’ll see several hard freezes this week, remember to keep the three p’s in mind. It’s a good idea to disconnect the garden hose too! While we’ll get a brief reprieve from the bitter cold later in the week, which will be good news for WRAL’s Tower Lightings Wednesday evening. Shortly thereafter, it looks like another round of Arctic air will make its way down to North Carolina next weekend into the following week. The jet stream can best be thought of as a northern half and a southern half. The northern provides the cold, and the southern provides the moisture/storms. In the next one-to-two weeks, the two halves seem to be out of sync.

Election boards in NC could flip to GOP if court challenge fails
SUMMARY: Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper faced six legislative attempts to restructure North Carolina’s election boards, attempting to diminish his authority. Newly elected Gov. Josh Stein is now involved in a lawsuit over a recently enacted law that transfers appointment power from the governor to State Auditor Dave Boliek. This shift could lead to a predominantly Republican composition of the State Board of Elections and county boards, following a history of unsuccessful GOP efforts to control these boards since 2016. With a Republican majority in the state Supreme Court, future rulings on these power dynamics may favor the legislature’s interests.

Concealed carry reciprocity, backed by Trump, in U.S. House proposal | North Carolina
SUMMARY: The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, proposed by U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, aims to allow individuals with state-issued concealed carry permits to carry handguns across state lines. Supported by 124 Republican cosponsors and endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump, the bill seeks to simplify the complex patchwork of state laws regarding concealed carry. Advocates, including gun rights organizations, argue that the legislation protects Second Amendment rights and prevents legal issues for permit holders traveling between states. Recent litigation in Minnesota highlights the challenges faced by licensed carriers in states that do not recognize their permits.
