Severe Weather Alert

Aviso urgente do serviço de meteorologia nacional. Os trechos em negritos são meus. Traduzindo: temperaturas próximas de 0ºC nas próximas noites, atingindo o mínimo na noite de terça-feira. Ainda bem que tenho algumas latas de sopa em casa.

Neste instante, temperatura exterior de 13ºC. Voltei para Bento!

Abraços!

...NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS...

NORTHWEST WINDS TODAY WILL USHER MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES TONIGHT AND A LIGHT BUT STEADY NORTHWEST WIND.... TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE LOW AND MID 30S. A FEW OF THE NORMALLY COLDER LOCATIONS SUCH AS RURAL HALL...ROXBORO AND LOUISBURG MAY REACH 32 DEGREES FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME.

THE POTENTIAL FOR A WIDESPREAD LIGHT FREEZE APPEARS TO BE BETTER TUESDAY NIGHT AS SKIES WILL BE CLEAR AND THE WINDS NEAR CALM. THIS WILL ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE TO DROP TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING FOR A FEW HOURS BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 8 AM. IF THIS CONDITION APPEARS TO BE MORE CERTAIN LATER TODAY OR TUESDAY MORNING...THEN A FREEZE WARNING WILL NEED TO BE ISSUED FOR TUESDAY NIGHT FOR A LARGE PART OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

PEOPLE WITH PLANTS OR OTHER OUTDOOR OPERATIONS THAT ARE SENSITIVE TO COLD WEATHER SHOULD BEGIN PREPARATIONS FOR COLD TEMPERATURES TODAY. AT THIS TIME A HARD FREEZE...WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE AT OR BELOW 28 DEGREES...IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
