That's because a powerful coast-to-coast storm that originated on the West Coast stayed to our south, where it dumped as much as 19 inches of snowfall in parts of North Carolina over the weekend.
The last time this area had such a long dry stretch was in late September to early October last year, with 15 straight days free of rain, according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson.
The new workweek here will bring continued cold and remain precipitation-free before a change in the weather pattern on Saturday.
We will see mainly sunny days through Thursday with highs in the mid- to upper-30s each day. The wind-chill factor will make it feel like it's between 20 and 30 on Tuesday.
The cold snap ends on Friday as the high temperature will climb into the upper-40s to around 50 degrees under partly sunny skies.
The dry stretch will finally end with the arrival of rain late Friday evening. Precipitation will remain rain overnight as the high temperature will not fall below 40 degrees.
Saturday will be cloudy with rain mainly before noon and a high around 50.
The sun returns on Sunday with a high in the mid-40s under partly cloudy skies.
