Greensboro is starting Tuesday clear and near 43 degrees, with possible patchy frost in the area Tuesday morning before the city swings toward a sunny 71-degree afternoon.

The National Weather Service in Raleigh discusses a frost risk Tuesday morning.

The new advisory and sharper late-week cooldown mark a meaningful update from Hoodline’s earlier forecast.

Sunshine Wins Tuesday And Veterans Day

Tuesday will be sunny, dry and unusually mild for November, with southwest winds between 1 and 9 mph and a high near 71. Temperatures fall to around 46 Tuesday night.

Veterans Day on Wednesday should remain mostly sunny, with highs in the low to mid-70s. Winds shift from southwesterly to northwesterly Tuesday evening, then toward northerly overnight. Rain chances stay near zero through the middle of the week, giving outdoor plans a brief stretch of easy weather.

Thursday Starts The Temperature Drop

Thursday will reach about 64 degrees, but a small chance of light rain returns. The odds are low, and any rainfall is expected to be minimal.

Friday brings the bigger change: a high near 54 and a slight chance of morning showers. Colder air will settle in behind a late-week front, and the National Weather Service says temperatures could remain below average into next week.

Freezing Nights Arrive This Weekend

Saturday stays sunny but chilly, with a low around 31 Saturday night. Sunday stays sunny, but temperatures could fall to roughly 32 Sunday night.

Outlying and rural locations may see a hard freeze, while urban Greensboro could remain a little milder. Residents with tender plants should prepare for more than one cold morning, not just Tuesday’s brief frost risk.
