HRRR Model 7AM-Midnight (18 hour loop)
The above HRRR model shows rain arriving around midnight, but very low dew point values will “eat” that precipitation. We don’t think it’ll even make it to the ground. As you can see below, very dry air is dominating the SE U.S.
Current Radar
Most of us will dip down into the upper 20s overnight and into Tuesday morning.
A few more clouds are possible on Tuesday but sunshine will be the main story once again. The reason for our increased warmth will be due in part to the previously mentioned high pressure migrating east.
Official low overnight is 26°, but we should be closer to 20° in rural/outlying areas.
No more Freeze Watches and Warnings. NWS only warns the first few.
