| Chilly Weekend |
Thursday morning's 35° tied a record set in 1989. For Saturday, the record is 37° in 1976. For Sunday, it's 36° in 1966. We might tie or break the record lows either morning, but Sunday appears more likely. We won't touch the all-time low for May; that was 28° on May 8, 1989. Frost is possible both weekend mornings, but especially Sunday.

Our purpose is NOT to spread alarm. It is to report the facts. The article we recently posted from the North Carolina Dept. of Agriculture drew comments on Facebook that spreading alarm was what we were doing. Obviously, those commenting failed to read the article, which said we don't have those pests in NC. To make sure we set peoples' minds at ease, we asked Tom Dyson of the Extension Service to further explain.
