Winds blow away weekend warmth; winter 'normal' weather returns
Temperatures on Sunday afternoon broke records set for the day back in 1999 and 1965, but the Triangle will see a much cooler start to the work week.
Posted — Updated
By noon, the 24-hour temperature differential saw a loss of about 25 degrees across central North Carolina from Sunday's high near 80 degrees.
Highs on Monday will be in the 50s, and temperatures will remain in that range for the remainder of the work week.
"Blustery winds will usher that cooler air into the region," said WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. "Gusts will range from 20 to 25 mph through lunchtime."
According to Gardner, despite the huge drop, temperatures are actually back around normal for this time of year.
By the weekend, temperatures will once again climb to about 70 degrees.
