Sunny Saturday, Then Another Freeze by Sunday Morning

Saturday afternoon will be a good time to get outside across Rowan, Davie, Davidson and Cabarrus counties. We’ll have plenty of sunshine and highs in the low to mid-50s. If you’re heading out for dinner or an evening event, take the heavier coat. Temperatures will fall quickly after sunset, and many communities will be back in the upper 20s by Sunday morning. 

What to expect tonight

I’m forecasting overnight lows around 28° in Rowan and Davie, 27° in Davidson and 29° in Cabarrus. Those are county forecast values, so your backyard may come in a little warmer or colder. If you still have tender plants outside, bring them in or cover them before dark. 

Davidson County is under a Freeze Warning from 1 to 8 AM Sunday. Rowan, Davie and Cabarrus are also expected to drop below freezing. The National Weather Service office that covers those three counties ended its seasonal frost and freeze alerts on November 11. 

Sunday warms into the mid-50s

If you’re headed to church or getting an early start on errands, plan on a cold morning. Sunshine will take us back into the mid-50s by Sunday afternoon, and we’ll stay dry. The afternoons trend warmer into the middle of next week, but the nights will still feel like November, with lows near or below freezing.
