For my area I'd be shocked if we get below 30 again until end of the year. I know that we have had hard freezes in March, usually early to mid, before so I don't count out the 20s until the end of the month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Even way down here, record lows til the midpoint of March are in hard freeze territory including a 26 on March 16th in 2017! There were even a couple of hard freezes in late March though they were way back in the 1950s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago during the first week of turkey season (second week of April) I woke up to 24 degrees in Louisburg NC, was absolutely not dressed for that. Long range looks extremely warm for first half of March, but I am confident there will be more sub freezing mornings before April 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of light freezes, KSAV has had them as late as April 16th! But that 32 was way back during a colder era, 1962. However, we’ve much more recently in early April had 2 light freezes in 2007 and even a 32 on April 3rd just 5 years ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I had to go back to 2021 to find an April freeze. Most of NC had a hard freeze back early April of 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of NC away from the coastal areas were in the 20's on that morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I have seen frost in June even in the foothills. Freeze in early May tend to occur every 10-15 years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDU got down to 30 on April 23 of 2021 which was obviously well past the normal last freeze date. That morning was in the 20’s in many rural areas too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago RDU got down to 36 on May 10 2020 which likely resulted in frost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago It’s joked but actually pretty accurate in western NC that the opening day for trout is usually miserably cold. In fact, anecdotally, I can’t think of one time where I’ve been warm on that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it couldn't happen. More of a probably won't. Now higher elevations and more north of me, sure 20's are probable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
