URGENT UPDATE: The National Weather Service in Charlotte, North Carolina, has just released a critical weather forecast indicating a significant shift in conditions over the next few days. Residents should prepare for a rainy weekend, with a notable warming trend expected to follow early next week.
Today’s weather will feature increasing clouds and a high near 61 degrees, accompanied by a light west-southwest wind. However, the forecast warns of rain beginning tonight, with a 60 percent chance of precipitation starting after 5 AM. Minimal accumulations are expected, but the weekend’s outlook is more concerning.
Saturday will be particularly damp, with a staggering 90 percent chance of rain, potentially bringing 0.25 to 0.5 inches of rainfall. A high of only 47 degrees is predicted, along with the possibility of patchy fog, creating challenging conditions for outdoor activities.
In contrast, Sunday promises relief with mostly sunny skies and a comfortable high of around 55 degrees. As Charlotteans recover from the wet conditions, early next week brings a mixture of cloudiness and sunshine, with temperatures fluctuating between the 30s at night and mid-50s during the day.
Monday will feature mostly sunny skies with a high near 54 degrees, dipping to a partly cloudy 38 degrees by nightfall. The midweek forecast is particularly exciting for those tired of the chill, as temperatures could soar up to 68 degrees on Wednesday, despite ongoing cloud coverage.
Authorities stress the importance of staying updated on changing weather conditions as Charlotte transitions into a warming trend after this rainy spell.
