Fayetteville, NC — A sharp change in weather is expected across Cumberland County as colder air moves into the region late Wednesday night and settles in through Thursday. This system is forecast to bring the coldest temperatures of the week, along with brisk winds that will make conditions feel even colder than the actual readings.
Forecast Overview
Cold air will arrive late Wednesday night following light rain, clearing quickly as temperatures drop. Thursday is expected to be dry but noticeably colder, with strong northwest winds contributing to bitter wind chills, especially during the morning hours.
Temperatures
Overnight low temperatures are expected to fall to around 19 degrees. Thursday’s daytime high is forecast near 40 degrees, though some areas may remain slightly cooler. By Friday, temperatures are expected to rebound modestly, with highs near 45 degrees.
