Crisp Fall Mornings and Midweek Warm-Up in NC
North Carolina is experiencing crisp fall mornings with low humidity and mostly sunny afternoons as the last week of September begins. Morning temperatures in the Mountains, Foothills, and Piedmont Triad are starting in the 40s °F (4–9 °C) but will gradually warm to the upper 50s °F (13–15 °C) by midweek. High temperatures are expected to rise above seasonal averages, reaching the mid-to-upper 80s °F (29–31 °C) by Wednesday due to a ridge of high pressure. Additionally, the Harvest Moon was visible on Saturday night, and the Orionids meteor shower is set to begin on October 2, peaking around October 21–22.
