First freeze of the season expected this weekend in Elizabeth City area
A strong cold front will bring gusty winds and temperatures in the 30s and 40s, with frost possible in some spots.
WITN reported that a strong cold front will arrive Thursday night, bringing a notable drop in temperatures to the Elizabeth City area and surrounding regions.
Thursday will see winds picking up from the south with gusts between 20 to 25 mph and temperatures remaining above normal, but no record highs are expected. Clouds will be intermittent throughout the day.
The cold front will sweep through Thursday night into Friday, shifting winds to the west or northwest and causing temperatures to fall. A few light and scattered showers are possible, according to WITN.
By the weekend, highs will only reach the 50s, about 10 degrees below normal, with gusty winds of 20 to 30 mph. Nighttime temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s, making it feel like the 20s inland from Friday through Sunday.
The highest risk of freezing temperatures is Saturday night into Sunday morning, but frost or freeze conditions could occur on other nights, including early next week. Even areas near the coast away from the water may see frost if winds calm down, WITN noted.
