12/11/2025 9:00 PM: We are monitoring the risk for some of the coldest air of the winter season Sunday night into Monday morning as a powerful cold front sweeps across the country.

🌬️ Forecast lows across eastern NC could fall as low as the mid 10s with wind chills into the single digits.

❄ The front itself could also bring some light wintery precipitation Sunday into Sunday night. Stay tuned for more information as the forecast comes into better focus.

🌡️🔥 Hot weather can significantly increase the risk of heat stress in horses. Knowing what's normal for your horse — like their typical temperature, heart rate, and behavior — can help you spot early warning signs and take action before things get serious.

Help your horse beat the heat by:
💧 Providing free access to fresh, cool (45 to 65 degrees F) water.
🌳 Making sure horses have access to shade throughout the day.
🧂 Providing free access to salt to promote drinking.
💦 Rapidly cooling hot horses by applying continuous cool water over them.
❌ Limiting trailering or exercising horses if possible.
