Coastal regions will feel like autumn, while areas southwest remain summer-like.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will peak between 77-89°F today, with a much cooler evening forecasted. The NE Coastal Plain will experience lows between 60-68°F, a sharp contrast from previous nights. Prepare for fall-like conditions tonight and a more comfortable Monday, with highs around 80°F.
For those commuting along I-40 or planning outdoor activities, consider dressing in layers to handle the fluctuating temperatures. Rain is expected later in the week, with up to 55% chance by Friday. Stay updated on weather advisories throughout the day as conditions may change rapidly.
