    Temperatures are expected to reach as low as the teens Sunday night, with wind chills in the single digits, according to the National Weather Service.

    Natioanl Weather Service

    As Arctic air comes to central North Carolina, the National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory for Sunday night.

    The advisory issued Saturday will be in effect from Sunday at 6 p.m. to Monday at 9 a.m. The NWS forecasts overnight low temperatures in the teens, with the wind chill as low as 3 degrees. Temperatures that cold could quickly lead to hypothermia.

    Outlook for Sunday and next week

    Temperatures will be reasonable Sunday morning, hitting a high of 43 degrees around midday, according to the NWS. But temperatures will fall to 29 degrees before 5 p.m., with wind chills as low as 20 degrees. Temperatures will drop to a low around 15 Sunday night and remain there until Monday morning.

    Monday afternoon will feel more bearable with temperatures reaching a high around 37 degrees, according to the NWS. From Tuesday onward, temperatures will be in the low 50s to low 60s for the rest of the week.

    A cold weather advisory is issued when seasonably — but not extremely — cold air or wind chill temperatures are expected. The NWS advises that you:

    • Dress in layers. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat and gloves when going outside.
    • Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Outdoor pets need a warm, dry shelter, food and unfrozen water.
    • Check on older family, friends and neighbors frequently.

    Northwest winds at a speed of 15 to 25 mph will also blow through Sunday night, putting any unsecured outdoor objects — including holiday decorations — at risk of being blown away, according to the NWS. Peak gusts could reach 25 to 35 mph.

    A 15-degree low is just shy of the record low in the Triangle at this time of year — the lowest temperature the NWS recorded on Dec. 14 at Raleigh-Durham International Airport was 13 degrees in 1960. But that is still quite low compared to the average minimum temperature of 33 degrees on Dec. 14.

  • Mid-Carolina OB/GYN in Raleigh to Offer 3D and 4D Ultrasounds

    Mid-Carolina OB/GYN in Raleigh to Offer 3D and 4D Ultrasounds

    OB/GYN office in the Triangle introduces keepsake 3D and 4D ultrasounds for pregnancies.

    Jan 10, 2023


    RALEIGH, N.C., January 10, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Mid-Carolina OB/GYN is proud to soon offer 3D and 4D elective ultrasound technology for expecting parents in 2023. 

    Beginning Jan. 10, 2023, patients can book 3D or 4D ultrasounds in the Raleigh-Durham area. Patients from or near the Triangle can enjoy the experience of a private 3D or 4D ultrasound. Once an expensive and inaccessible service, each 3D/4D package offers reasonable prices for priceless first looks and moments as a parent. Select services also allow patients to take home keepsake black-and-white 2D photographs. 

    3D and 4D technology emerged 10 years ago and continues to gain traction among patients as a safe way to gain insight into their baby. 3D ultrasounds offer three-dimensional images of a patient’s baby with more detail than a typical 2D photo. 4D scans and ultrasounds show “live” shots of a developing baby’s movements, like opening and closing their eyes or kicking. Both services allow parents to sneak a unique look at their baby prior to the due date and promote a bonding experience unlike any other. 

    Whether patients want to throw a gender reveal or are just curious about their baby’s growth, Mid-Carolina OB/GYN happily offers several 3D and 4D ultrasound services, including the following packages:  

    • “Precious Baby Peek” (7 to 14 weeks): Includes up to 10 minutes of a 3D or 4D peek of movement and heartbeat. $50 for a single child, $75 for twins.
    • “Gender Reveal” (15-21 weeks): Includes up to 15 minutes of 3D or 4D for a gender reveal as well as black and white photos in 2D. $80 for a single child, $120 for twins.
    • “Who Do I Look Like” (22-36 weeks): Includes up to 20 minutes of detailed 3D or 4D glimpses of the baby with five 2D black-and-white photos to take home. $100 for a single child, $150 for twins.

    Appointments for 3D or 4D ultrasounds are available Tuesdays between 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Patients can book by calling the office or using the Patient Portal.

    Call 919-781-5510 for more information.

    Standard medically necessary and diagnostic ultrasound appointments, such as Anatomy and Nuchal Translucency screenings, can be scheduled during normal operating hours.
