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.

SUMMARY: Longtime homeowners in historically Black neighborhoods like Hillsborough face disproportionate property tax burdens compared to wealthier, mostly white areas nearby. Beverly Walton, a 66-year resident of Renshaw Street, inherited her home but struggles to afford rising taxes despite no renovations. Her house, valued lower than newer homes, is taxed at a higher rate, leading to financial strain on fixed incomes. Data from Wake, Durham, and Orange counties reveal majority nonwhite neighborhoods pay about $9 more per $100,000 in home value, despite lower average home prices. Advocates call for fairer assessments to prevent pricing out longtime residents amid regional growth.

SUMMARY: Severe flooding in the Triangle region has caused two deaths, sinkholes, and downed trees. In Nash County, 55-year-old Raymond Evans Jr. and 24-year-old Lahie Alustin died after their minivan was swept into a ravine. Evans heroically tried to save Alustin after police efforts failed. A memorial has grown at the site. In Apex, heavy rain caused a sinkhole on Olive Chapel Road, collapsing a section already slated for repairs. Town officials are working with the Department of Transportation to expedite repairs, possibly earlier than the initially expected November timeline. Residents face detours and ongoing disruptions.

WRAL is tracking the impact of severe flooding that occurred all through Wednesday. Rain will continue on-and-off on Thursday, and it could be heavy at times.
