Tuesday is expected to be another cold start, and some areas could see light frost.

Chilly Monday night ahead, light frost possible in the morning

<p>Dress and layers on Tuesday. I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the wr severe weather center, sweater weather is temporarily back. We're talking 35 in the morning in Roxboro, 38 Durham, 39 in Raleigh, we actually had to lower the low temperature. After looking over some of the new model data in this afternoon. 40 in Fayetteville, it's a chilly start to the day but the coldest that we have likely for the rest of the season. We're at 45 though again for the low on Friday. So some of these cooler nights and mornings are in the forecast. I would dress in layers this week and have the extra layer on hand. The normal low is 51 for some perspective satellite and radar showing the cold front that passed earlier. The clouds moving on out of here. We've got high pressure in control tomorrow but then comes our next cold front. So enjoy the sunshine tomorrow. It should be day. But with a chilly northwest wind initially changing to southwest Wednesday is when we have a small chance for rain. It's our only opportunity for rain this week. It's as we get midday that I think we have the best chance of a quick shower blowing through the area. And then by Wednesday night, we'll see that front, quickly clear out of here and some cooler air will follow. If you need to get some yard work done this week. It looks like a pretty good week to knock out some of those outdoor projects. Just that 20% chance of rain on Wednesday, there's a chance it could be raised to 30% but it's not looking like a very significant rain for us. And the rest of the week is looking pretty quiet and dry for your meal planner tomorrow. Breakfast, 43 degrees at chilly start to the day by lunchtime, it's 66 plenty of sunshine. So it should be feeling pretty good out there as long as you're in the sunlight and for very comfortable, 70 degrees. One of those nice in between winter and summer, spring days, you know, we don't get too many of those. So enjoy this week, the afternoons should be pretty nice with highs in the seventies. Then we are warming back up 81 on Sunday, 85 by next Monday. And the long term temperature forecast is showing above normal temperatures as we head through the next couple of weeks.</p>

Frost advisory, 3 a.m. until 8 a.m. Tuesday, April 23.
